First MacRumors post, couldn't resist this awesome thread any longer--
I've got a 12.9 Space Gray 1TB engraved on the way, and got my order in within the first 5-10 mins on 4/30. On the west coast and UPS has me currently scheduled for delivery on Friday, but mine has been stuck in ZhengZhou since Friday with no further updates, so hoping it hasn't gotten held up. Maybe just a regional factor that's determining what order things go out, and will pass along any updates soon as I get em. Great, exciting thread, and can't wait to get this beast in my hands and start setting it up.

11 Space Gray 1TB.
Seattle, WA
Ordered 05:13 on 4/30
Original Delivery Window 5/21 - 5/27
AMEX “Large Purchase Approved” and Preparing to ship 5/16 10:46am
No changes since.
With my 27” IMac in August, credit card was charged on 8/25 and it was at my house from China on 8/28 with “Standard Shipping”. Ipad says “Express shipping”, so still hopeful for Friday.

Fingers crossed, status will move. I just check before this post and still the same. Stuck in Processing… still says 21+ May. Only way this delivery is going to make 21 May is if it was shipped from Sydney tomorrow.
Meeee. I have been sitting in China per the scans since the 14th. 12.9” space grey 256gb WiFi only. I live in Los Angeles
My iPad is also in Louisville, Kentucky! Now it has to travel to California lol. My white Magic Keyboard is finally preparing for shipment… took them long enough. I honestly wouldn’t have guessed that the iPad would get shipped faster than the keyboard. I was hoping to have it at the same time as my iPad Pro.
Mine is also stuck in ZhengZhou, but I am in Columbus, OH, next day shippingfrom Louisville. Think those that made it to Louisville already have longer travel times from there.
That‘s great news, considering that you had such a late delivery date originally, and with any luck, yours will arrive faster.
My delivery window is a couple of days later than yours, so there’s a glimmer of hope. Mine hasn’t updated yet, but my order was placed later than yours and was 39 minutes in, for the 512 GB Space Grey. I have been assuming that mine won’t show any change until sometime next week.
Is there some way to see where my iPad is or where it was last scanned? Mine just says it was shipped "On the way" and this is all I see when I click on view details. Apple store still says Estimated May 21 by 7PM.

Have you tried tracking it from your Apple status email with the tracking link?
Yeah. It's weird. Never seen this before. I'm sure it's fine. Will do a chat with UPS later.
The pallets of iPads are sitting in a Louisville UPS hub under police security. They won’t be broken down until Thursday, at which point they will be thrown on the conveyor system and happily make it along their way to your home city hubs magically overnight. Same way it’s been since I was on the police security detail for the first iPhones (Except those sat in semi’s for weeks in a lot…yes weeks)
Naw, mine got to Kentucky last night and I am also close, in St. Louis. The last iPhone 12 I got was trucked from Louisville to St. Louis.
There are some really expensive ones on the market. You should give her one that'll offer the most pleasure during usage.
Same, been sitting at “arrived” in ZhengZhou since 5/14 without any updates. Still scheduled for 5/21 delivery.
I actually faintly remember when I ordered the OG Apple Watch years ago having the same issue then like a day or two before delivery it randomly filled in a bunch of missing/past tracking updates.
