Dear all, I'm from Italy and orderd on Saturday 28th.

On monday I had the tracking on to "ready to ship" and still waiting. I know the situation here is awful but do you think it will be delivered on time or at all? It says estimated delivery on 6th-8th April

I do not know what's going on. I hope they will send Monday and arrive on Tuesday.
Me too, or ship it Tuesday and get it on Wednesday in my case, but really hope it doesn't get much later than that. Keep us updated!

In Romania we have them in carriers stock, but the Apple Resellers are estimating an end of April stock. Weird.
Forgot to tell but my order arrived on 1 April :)
Since i got it faster from our country, i had canceled the order from Amazon UK!

The problem in Romania is that there is only one distributor for all Resellers. And resellers never know how many pieces will get and when.
When i asked the Apple department from our shop, they told me they expect to be delivered mid April. Next day (1 april) i got the message that the tablet was shipped!

This morning I received the good news that my iPP has been shipped! It will arrive on 8th April hopefully. I don't know where it is yet, can't get the tracking code.
Hope you all get yours as well!
So far it's spot on time with the estimation given by Apple.

Does anyone know whether or not Apple is still shiping the iPP to EU countries (Belgium specifically)? I'm getting a little worried about the delay on my order which is beginning to get absurdly long. It's still processing too...

Honestly I think they are extremely slow shipping items, and take up as much time as they have available. I was worried too and was in exactly your situation. Bear in mind I'm from Italy so the situation here is incredibly difficult. Well I suggest you to wait until the 14th and see. My delivery was estimated from 6th-8th and the shipped it this morning, arriving the 8th.

Have you tried making another order? Can you cancel the old one? I have seen our american neighbours beeing succesful with a fresh new order, that was shipped imediately. Or, have a look on amazon or other store. In eastern europe we have good stock at the moment.

Not yet, but I am planning on calling Apple first thing on the 14th if my order is still processing at that point before canceling and re-ordering. I mean it's been 3 weeks at this point... :rolleyes:

My iPad arrived today but after more than two weeks, I still can't seem to enjoy it. It arrived completely destroyed and had to send it back straight away. Very disappointed in Apple right now, I asked to send me a new one asap but the still have to answer me.

I hope yours arrives soon and usable... There aren't any words to describe my disappointment...

You should be blaming the postman for throwing the box around.

The coronavirus situation seems to be playing a large role in these delays.

The coronavirus situation seems to be playing a large role in these delays.

I definitely are blaming the carrier (not the postman, it has been damaged along the way I think) but apple's customer service is to blame as well, due to the fact I spent a whole morning trying to get hold of someone, and they said they don't know whether they can send me a new one! I would expect a much better service from them, the coronavirus is definitely hitting everyone but that's not an excuse for this delay and problems in my opinion.

UK - 12.9-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi 256GB - Space Grey ordered on 26th of March.

Estimated delivery 11-21st of April, but still stuck on processing, and getting increasingly nervous reading reviews about items showing up smashed!

Weird mix of excited and apprehensive, does anyone know if Apple still deliver in the UK on bank holiday extended weekends?

They won’t. If it doesn’t turn up tomorrow it won’t come until after the extended bank holiday weekend.

Edit: if you’re desperate for it, cancel your order and buy from John Lewis online. They have them all in stock and you can get delivery on Friday for an extra £7.

UK - 11” 256GB Space gray ordered on 27th March and received on 7th April in perfect shape via UPS.

This was within the originally promised delivery window, so happy with that, given what’s going on ??

I just got a new delivery window for my iPP ordered on 18/3 ? it is now going to be delivered 23 Apr - 30 Apr...

I get that the coronavirus situation is causing some degree of delays, but at this point it looks like a roll of the dice whether or not your order will ship at all.

I thought that might be the case! But thank you for the info.

Unfortunately I ordered via my workplace techscheme which isn’t transferrable to other outlets.

I hope other viewers get some use out of the John Lewis tip though.
