Mine has shipped, currently in Sydney with DHL should be in Auckland Monday, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it arrived on Friday either… heck they might even do a Saturday delivery!!!
 
Mine is also in Louisville. I guess from there they clear customs, get broken out individually, and travel to their destination. In my case, by truck because TN is pretty close to NC. At least that’s been my experience with iPhones in the past.
 
Status just changed on 11” IPad & new Siri remotes to arriving 21 May. UPS shows the remotes actually arriving today and still shows no status on IPad.
 
Call UPS at their International number: 1 (800) 782-7892. Make sure you say "Representative" at least a couple times, and then feed the robot your tracking number.

I called yesterday midday, spoke to a very nice rep and he filed the request for me to pick up at my local CC. Then the CC rep contacted me ~45 mins later and confirmed that it'd be ready for pickup on Friday morning.
I chatted with an Apple specialist. This person didn’t give me a straight answer if Apple limited the hold options in their UPS contract recently. They put a hold request in the Apple system but said 50/50 chance it would go through. Takes up to 1 business day and so close to the delivery date tomorrow.

I’ve held multiple launch day products at UPS CC over the years with no problem. This is the first time I’ve tried to hold at a UPS store - there was no CC option this time, store is closer to my home than CC and I’m ok with the risk of a day delay on delivery. Pretty frustrating process this launch
 
I’m excited for everyone getting their new iPads tomorrow or hopefully soon! Mine arrives tomorrow if all goes well. Normally I’d block the entire evening and as much of the next day as possible, but still trying to get together with friends post-virus. Given normal UPS delivery times I should still have a few hours downtime tomorrow to enjoy the new iPad smell. Anyone else block their day fully or partly on delivery day? Just curious. 🤔

Yep, I block off the entire day. I never know exactly when it will be here, and whether a signature will be required. Either way, I don’t want it sitting outside for more than a few seconds. ;-)
 
Finally got my UPS tracking.
11” ordered at 8:08am.
Label created. I’m in Maryland.

Nice, finally some movement on my 11 inch. will be here tomorrow. Pencil comes today. so looking forward to moving on from my 10.5!
 
So, we had a few day trip planned and won't be back till Sunday night. I forgot when I ordered my 11” right now it still says preparing to ship, so I assume I'll be OK? LOL, the first time I ever wished an apple product to be slow!
 
So my iPad is in KY. I told the app to deliver to the UPS store since I won’t be home on Friday. The delivery date and destination has not changed. Should I try again or will a new label be created before it leaves KY?
 
Any Canadians seeing movements on their shipped iPads? Mines had label created for almost 24 hours now but nothing else. Makes me worry if it’ll get to me tomorrow..

Mine is the same. Label created yesterday but nothing updated since. Mine shows a delivery date of Tuesday, May 25th when it originally said May 26th to May 31st. A day early! Woop
