My iPad mini is still listed as Express delivery. I think that means it is already in the states and is coming from a domestic warehouse.
Yeah same here. Gonna keep the faith… I have to believe if there was some huge screw-up, Apple wouldn’t have just kept the 24th as the delivery date. I don’t think I have ever received an Apple product later than the delivery date listed.

it's always like this. I think if it was shipping from China that just means it's down to the wire, otherwise they stockpile in various countries.

Once for me but there was a breakdown on a truck if I remember correctly.

Nothing for me in the UPS and FedEx app. ;[

I tried to order a case for store pick up, but now says unavailable and only through shipping option with a mid October delivery date (all colors).

What's up with that? I wanted to see if I could use my AppleCash credit from my iPad mini purchase, but guess I waited too long.

Considering nearly everyone here is seeing the same thing, odds are everything is normal. No worries, everyone. Unfortunately, refreshing the order tracking won't make it show up any sooner. Otherwise, I would have it already. Apple knows how to play this shell game with logistics better than ALMOST anyone else out there.

Midwest America.
Bulk rate, and other substantial discounts, no doubt. :D I'm sure UPS and Fedex get all warm a fuzzy about these events.

Yeah, UPS was more than happy to quote a Sonic shipment. My client *thought* they wanted something THAT DAY. Until I found out that they could get it THAT DAY, and what it would cost. They would even go pick up the package, and take it to meet the plane, for a fee. They decided that they could live without it for a few days. Yeah...

I’m guessing we all did the same thing recently..? Watched Mini 6 reviews on YouTube.

Do reviewers receive talking points from Apple? Some of the reviews sounded like they were reading from the same script, or at least using the same suggested comparisons. The “bezels feeling bigger when compared to other models, but they’re not” and “using it as a camera/big iPads are embarrassing”… not a big deal or anything. I’m not trying to start reviewgate. Probably just coincidence. It just stood out after watching a bunch back to back. Chomping at the bit ya’ll.
Since everyone can be a tech journalist these days, they will rehash the same talking points without any creativity or skill.

Got the shipped email like everyone else, but the lavender folio won’t ship until mid October.. thinking of canceling and trying to get in another store potentially. No local Apple Store sadly
