It’s getting closer to Louisville!

Dilemma: I'm staying right next to a mall with an Apple Store for the next couple of weeks. It currently has the 512GB and 1TB models of the configuration I want in stock, though they cost considerably more than what I like to pay (after factoring in the higher taxes, the 512GB is $400 CAD more than the 256GB I have ordered and I doubt I'll ever have any use for the extra storage). So canceling my order and splurging on one of those is an option, but not sure I should go for it. 😂

On the other hand, I'm already 19 days into my order with the 256GB and feel like it is going to see some movement any minute now. So it would be a real shame to let that one go after having waited that long, especially considering I got it engraved with my name on it.

Oh, decisions, decisions. 😂
I don’t think it’s worth the price, given you can attach extra storage via usbc.

Also, you’ve waited this long, it can’t be that much far away.

If it’s any consolation, I ordered 23 days ago and it’s still processing.
 
ok so now im getting anxious about all this. im tracking that plane as it lands in Louisville. in comparison to my AirPods delivery they stayed in Louisville for a day but i did eventually get them a day after departing Louisville. if it departs today, i get the iPad tomorrow, which is unlikely. if it departs tomorrow, i get it on original ship date of wednesday.
 
it was a great landing. i watched it fully zoomed in and watching altitude and speed
I think we have all lost our freaking minds 😂

I will say — by this time on Thursday (hopefully sooner) - not only will we have an iPad Pro, but we will now know the logistics of Apples UPS cargo routes for their big name products, we will know how long products should/should not stay stuck in certain parts of the world, and we will also know that getting products engraved really don’t change shipping times much during a pandemic.

To top it all off - LETS PRAY THAT NEXT TIME WE NEED AN UPGRADED PRODUCT, WE CAN JUST DO IN STORE PICKUP.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

Exactly. The irony is that I can get my particular model of IPP from my local Apple store tomorrow. However, my family is under strict quarantine as we want to be cleared for a vacation with my vulnerable parents on Saturday. If only I could persuade someone outside my family circle to pick it up for me and leave it at my doorstep, I'd be absent this drama. Until then, I pray this delayed plane meets the hyper-UPS guy from Saturday Night Live and zips it to my home!
 
I feel like the delivery date Apple provides in the order shipped email will be the latest date it delivers. I assume that’s the date UPS provided Apple for guaranteed delivery or money back

See, I agree with you there - but UPS themselves also have a “guarantee“ for shipping and its kind of BS if they have the flexibility to be like “oh sorry we said it was gonna come on Tuesday but now it’s gonna be Wednesday.“ Granted the one day is still within the range - but like come onnnnn 🙄😂

Yea I think UPS provides a delivered by date that might be a day or two earlier than the guaranteed date. So if it’s delayed, it’s still kinda in time.

Or maybe I’ve gone crazy and this whole thread and so called iPads don’t actually exist in real life.

The UPS service guarantee was suspended in March 2020:

My IPP arrived in Louisville at 4pm!! When did everyone else’s arrive in Louisville? I’m so excited! The anticipation is killing me!
Expect it to come Tomorrow or the Day After! Your Wait is almost Over! Now do us a favor, make an Unboxing Video. I didn’t do one and I was a Disappointment. Don’t be a Disappointment.

Thanks,

I might not only do an unboxing, but a comparison between my first gen iPad Pro and this one - cause not a lot of people got the original one.
 
you guys are a bit late. we had a whole flight watch party and watched the plane land in Louisville in real time. unfortunately this is where we all go our separate ways as our iPads will depart on separate planes out of Louisville tomorrow or day after to our local facilities.
Can we have a PTSD forum made for us all to pop into every once in awhile?
