Sadly, Apple's Delivery Dates seem to be Accurate. It may Arrive a few days before what they tell you, but other than that you're gonna have to wait at least 3 weeks for anything to start happening. I ordered my 11" IPP on July 6 and still it has not been moved to "Preparing to Ship".

I did a bit of Math and Based on what @kdoug 's Experience was, yours should move to "Preparing to Ship" on or Around July 31st. Mine should move there on or Around August 3. Almost there, only a Week for me and this Friday for you!
Would not shock me one bit if Apple updated the iPad Pro in a month. This year's "update" was basically nonexistent, very reminiscent of basically meaningless upgrades to Macs in the past, designed to juice sales to clear existing inventory before the real update comes out.
Well then we'd be getting a Rare iPad Pro then, only out for 4 Months xD
Yeah, they did this with the Vega Macbook Pro two years or so ago. People were freaking out that their two-month old, just released $5,000 computer was completely outclassed three months later. Basically, if the "update" is something that requires no refabrication, just plug-and-play components, it's quite possibly a head-fake update. ESPECIALLY if the shipping is drastically delayed, implying the supply chain has now dried up.

Hopefully mine will move to "Preparing to Ship' soon. too!
I’m not sure what the “real” update would be. The camera, processor and hardware are best in class. Magic keyboard is brand new and designed to fit the 11” and 12.9” so a redesign isn’t in the cards.
What is with all these reports of new IPad Pro’s in sept/Oct.
The rumourmongers seem to be going into overdrive and thinking everything is going to be renewed
new iPads, phones, watches, macs, home pods, etc
seems a bit far fetched in light of recent issues, but on the IPads, you begin to question should you cancel your orders in case a new one is out the month after?
AirPods Studio, ARM MacBook and MacBook Pro 13, new iPad Pro, iPhone 12 series and HomePod refresh are all arriving between August and October
Apple is planning the mother of all hardware releases between August and October. The AirPods Studio, the iPhone 12 series and a HomePod refresh are all due, as are Apple's first ARM-powered laptops. The ARM MacBook and MacBook Pro 13 will be joined by a new iPad Pro too.www.notebookcheck.net
I read this stuff too - also, never heard of the website reporting this news, so I take it with a grain of salt. But I have the very first iPad Pro from 2015 and it still works beautifully. Unless the next iPad Pro can be foldable, this years model is a pretty great upgrade from 2015 iPad Pro ??
Lots of articles about Mini-LED and also 5G coverage (I only use the WiFi edition) in the next iPad. I DONT NEED IT TO BE BRIGHTER, just give me speed, storage, processing power - can’t ask for much more than that

Urghhh still no progress. Now the pencil shows the same " As soon as the item is ready, we’ll send you an update. " as the keyboard. It appears this is the message they display when things haven't shipped when it reaches the first day of the expected arrival date.
I find it interesting that my AirPod Pros were shipped 2 day FedEx and my iPad Pro was shipped UPS (China) today the 28th with an expected delivery date on the 5th of August. This lines up with the estimate Apple gave me of the 30th through the 7th but over 1 week to get here? I don’t recall any of my previous iPad orders taking that long when coming from China but then again I think they were shipped by FedEx. As @DiamondarBoss mentioned, make sure and click Express Delivery if given the option and it’s free.

Still no movement on my IPP 11" 256GB Space Gray ETA August 5th to 12th.
ETA August 5th to 12th.
Mine just shifted to preparing to ship! iPad Pro 11” space gray 256 WiFi ordered 7/3
OMG SAME!!!!!
I ordered a 12.9" on July 7 with an arrival date of Aug 6-13. My card was charged yesterday and the status went to "preparing to ship". I just got an email saying it had shipped this morning and would be here Aug. 5th.
My question is why does it take so long to get here from China. All my previous orders from Apple that came from China usually get here in 2-4 days.
Covid. I had a parcel shipped airmail from Japan and it took 5 weeks. It usually takes 5-7 days.
Awesome. I ordered a 12.9" on July 12. Maybe this means I can expect a change in status within the next 4 days or so. I've never been this meticulous with tracking an order, and I'm seriously ready for an update. My pencil, though, has an expected arrival date of Aug 6-13, and I have yet to see any change in its status.
Yup, I’m hoping to see a change in status this week sometime.
My estimated arrival of the pencil is 28 July - 4 Aug and it's still "Processing". Pretty sure they're behind schedule now - or they've just forgotten about my order.
Same for the keyboard - 27 July - 3rd Aug and "Processing".
YAY! After 25 Days of waiting, some people finally got theirs on "Preparing to Ship"! Seems like the 12.9" Pros take about 20 days to get there while the 11" Pros take about 25 days to get there. So mine should move to "Preparing to Ship" this Thursday or Friday! Can't wait!

I find it weird that even though @iThink Apple Ordered his iPad Pro 3 Days Earlier than mine, that we have the Same Delivery dates. Hopefully this means that:
A: Your iPad will come earlier than August 5-12.
B: Our iPads will be ready at the same time, so we will get them at the same time.
In the Case of Option B, my iPad should go Preparing to ship BEFORE the end of the week.
