Haven’t had time to post yet but my iPad made it down the production line too. Checked my order at 6:30 AM and it was preparing to ship. Got the shipped email from Apple at 10:36, with a 9/15 delivery date. It shipped with UPS ground, and hasn’t been scanned yet, shipping from the US.
Interesting. All of us who Placed our Orders in Early July, like @sirgib , Me, and @iThink Apple got ours shipped out of China.

Also, please change the Title of the Thread to include September, @iThink Apple ! We need more people to come here for therapy Commiserate!

Does Apple ship stuff over the weekend? If it does not ship today then the await is extended by 2 days.

Actually, even though mine PROBABLY got shipped from China, I was only informed about the shipping after it left the UK distributor. Many here could track theirs all the way from China, I couldn't - mine stayed in "Processing" until it left England then I got a Shipped notification.

I hope my Apple Pencil works out of the box lol. It’s been sitting there for nearly a month 😂
haha, same issue with my Airpods, they came free. the return window will close soon :).


I talked with an Apple Employee the other day about my concerns. I told them my pods and pencil just arrived the day after I ordered. So everything was ready to be used but of course I can't because of iPad shipping "actions" 😂.

She told that they are aware of this situation, I cannot test or use my pencil before iPad arrives. In this case, they can extend the 14 day return deadline. She put a not on my "Apple support case" and made sure if I have any problems about it the next employee will know and help me through. I guess it will be more or less the same in every country but in any case you can call and ask them to make sure about this.

My iPad Pro just got picked up at Carlisle, PA with confirmed 9/15 delivery. I wish Apple shipped it express like they did the pencil and AirPods Pro. Why did you have to give me standard shipping on the most expensive item?o_O If it does get here 9/15 that will be one month exactly from order date.
our ipads are in the same place!! mines coming tomorrow tho cuz i live super close 😎

Based on your order and ship dates, I have another two weeks of waiting to go. I might order a pencil while I am waiting. It seems to only take a couple of days to get those.
 
I think they ship on weekends.
Maybe it depends on what shipper they use. Apparently some units are shipped by UPS and others (like mine) were shipped via FedEx. I just received notice that my scheduled Saturday, 9/12 delivery has been updated to Sunday, 9/13. Ugh. To be fair, though, it will still arrive a few days earlier than expected. So, Yay!

in case anyone just ordered and wants to know how long it might take;
it took 27 days for my iPad to move from processing to preparing to ship
its delivering tomorrow, and it moved to preparing to ship today
I placed my order 8/16. my order stayed in processing only. Then changed to shipped today. I got the tracking number from Apple via text message. I had just checked an hour before and it was still in processing. My order never went into the Preparing to ship Step. I’ve been ordering from Apple since the iPhone 5s. This is the first time this has happened. I’m just happy they shipped it. I won’t complain. Lol
