Congratsss! I have a question for you if you don’t mind. I could check the the outside of the iPad looked great but how can you check the screen if it has a deflect? Is there any specific ways to check the screen?
I have some pictures that are all white, black, red, green, and blue that I look at 100% brightness to check for stuck/dead pixels, but haven’t done that yet. Honestly, I stopped doing that as pixel density got high enough that stuck or dead pixels are not noticeable at viewing distance.
 
Glad to see a lot of movement today for those that ordered around beginning of sept! I hope mine changes status from processing today! I ordered sept 1st and delivery window 24th sept to oct 1st
I ordered the same day from Apple and mines still processing but DD was 10/02-10/04. You should probably make a call to Apple. If not today definitely tomorrow.
 
I asked them if they could overnight me a new one, that I’d even pay for it! And they just went around the question and said don’t worry, it’ll ship soon. After I go to my post office I’ll probably contact them again because this is just ridiculous.
We should boycott Best Buy and sue them! ;)

We need someone to be the lawyer and help start the lawsuit. Any volunteers? This thread shall be cemented into iPad history!
 
Are you guys all getting your iPad from the Apple Store because of the education discount?

Amazon seems to have loads in stock...why are you buying them directly from Apple - is it the 14 day return policy?
It was the educational discount and the free airpods and there was a slight discount to applecare+
I gave the airpods to my friend, so actually that prevented me from cancelling my apple.com order in lieu of a in store pickup at apple location (which has been in stock near me for like 3 weeks!)
 
omg. THIS. LOOKS. SO. GOOD.

Thanks! I did better than I thought I would. this makes me want to buy more, but my wallet is like “no” 😂
I hear you, lol. I should have had you do mine. 🤪 I’m getting my pencil today, but I’m waiting on the skin for it from dBrand. I ordered one from Slickwraps, too, but then afterwards I read that they are notorious for not shipping what you pay for. 🤬

I have to be careful in my Apartment as sine Covid-19 has hit office hours are shorter and if UPS shows a package as delivered I may need to wait until maintenance comes and delivers the package. UPS leaves it in the office. Fed Ex will deliver to the door
 
In all fairness, though, it wasn’t BB that dropped the ball, it was the post office. That said, they should have used UPS or FedEx (but both of them have messed up my deliveries, too). 🤪
That’s true that USPS dropped the ball on not getting my delivery to me yesterday, but I would have had my iPad by now if they would have shipped it express like I paid for, and they were the ones who only put $100 insurance on it.

I'm a fan of Best Buy, but I just go to a nearish store, and haven't ordered from them. Still, it's awful when it's your order and you've waited so long. Better days are coming!

In my case, I took advantage of the educational discount, I get 3% back on my purchase by using my Apple card at Apple, and I got free AirPods. Also, I ordered the 11", 256gb, WiFi+Cellular, which Amazon won't have until after when Apple indicated they would ship. Amazon seems to be backed up a little also on the 11". I think there are reasons to order from Amazon or Apple, depends on your situation.
