My guess is that some noob store clerk accidentally put those on shelf knowing nothing about the embargo. The consequence would be a huge fine from Apple ?
Probably lose their Authorized Reseller status.

Hah, yeah... I mean, there are many tech companies, and they're all protective, but aint nobody as protective as Apple.

Here's all the more proof I can give. Scheduled to ship out on Monday unless Apple's secret police intercept it before then.

Oddly enough, now that I changed color on the 12.9 to space grey, it does say in stock.. but it also says pre-order in the title.

Where does it say it’s shipping before 5/24?

Apple said it'll be fixed by tomorrow morning. Someone getting their iPad early from a place we've never heard of is news.
Absolutely! We didn’t know whether the iPad was legit and then the store became questionable…

My order status cannot be displayed as well. The Apple store status usually goes down on sundays. It's odd to see it go down on a saturday. It better mean mine is ready to ship!

I have a bad feeling about this. It may be maintenance but it’s not scheduled maintenance on a busy shopping day. I wrote to the admin on MacRumors to ask them to investigate for us.
