I ordered an 11" iPP 256 Wifi SG 2020 on 3/23 from Expercom for $844 and $119 for an Apple pencil 2 as per a plug on AppleInsider as a discounted price. Of course the next day Apple knocked $50 off their list price, so there you go. I was hoping for no sales tax, as Expercom is out of state and in Utah, but they charged tax and at a higher rate than 10%, which struck me as on the high end. Just 1 cent for the shipping, however.
Their receipt says FedEx Ground (3-6 days), but the website upfront said "Estimated to ship within 2-3 weeks from your order date". That would peg the ship date between Apr 6-13. My CC has not been charged yet.
I also ordered a protective case for it today via Amazon Prime and it had a ship date of like Apr. 28 (despite order fulfillment by Amazon) due to Amazon switching shipping priorities in the midst of the pandemic.
So, all I know is that all this stuff will arrive sometime weeks from now, hopefully in April.
My experience with delivery ETAs, whether USPS, UPS, or FedEx is that their dates are not ironclad and will often be revised on the day you were supposed to get it to the next day and then the next day. Most promises of speedy delivery are increasingly just rough estimates.
As much as I'd love to have gotten my iPad Pro by now (5 days since I ordered it), I figure there is no point in stressing out over when exactly it will show up. For those of you who have gotten yours already, count your blessings and report back on your experiences (if not in this topic, then in another).
Cheers.
