It's now had an import scan and is still scheduled to be delivered today! UPS typically delivers to my building during the 10 o'clock hour so it should arrive in about an hour or so!
Hello! Omg, I am the happiest ever! I'm still setting up (hey, don't forget to make a backup of your old iPad while you're waiting a thousand years, good grief) but guys...it's so pretty. It's just sooo pretty.
I came here for this picture. And one that is hopefully just a few posts further down from @MaxGolden12!
36 days later...
IT PROVES ITSELF REAL!!!

@MaxGolden12. When the borders reopen, @janekenstein and I were planning a road trip to commemorate the 5 week’s we’ve all spent together in this shipping thread. @janekenstein is packing the snacks!
I hope everyone likes Twizzlers, because this is not a Red Vines family.

Yayy! Happy iPad Thursday!!!
You guys are more than welcome to drive up to Canada when things open back up! 😄
Hey! I'm just getting really antsy about the arrival of my iPad, even though I still have 3-4 weeks before I even make it into my arrival window. But I was wondering (if you remember) when/how close was it to your arrival window when your iPad moved from "processing" to "Preparing to ship"?
I want to call Apple and ask when I can expect movement, but I think it wouldn't help since it's only been two weeks since I've even placed my order.

Call them. They are use to it.
It took about a week from preparing to ship to actual delivery for mine. Ordered July 10th, received August 11th.
My delivery window was 8/24 to 8/31 and I just received mine today. I placed my order on 7/22 and it flipped to preparing to ship on 8/17, after processing for 26 days. So exactly a week before the start of my arrival window.
We ordered July 26 with a window of August 26-September 2, it flipped to Preparing to Ship late August 21 (26 days) and to Shipped shortly after that. It just delivered today (32 days total)!
Day 22 for me, still processing. Estimated arrival sept 4-14🤞
i was cleaning my gadgets and daaamn i almost forgot how pretty apple products look when theyre naked
I ordered on August 2nd, and it changed to Preparing to Ship today (~25 days of processing). My estimated delivery is Sept 3rd - 11th, so I saw movement exactly a week before the first date of the arrival window!
But I'm not sure how long it will take to go from preparing to ship to shipped.

Mine stayed in preparing to ship for about 20 hours. But it can be as short as 12 in some cases.
Yay! iPad is now preparing to ship!
Ordered August 3rd
Preparing to ship August 27th (24 days of processing)

I’m not sure, but I think you may hold the record on this thread for the longest wait time between order to delivery. I think yours was slower than by carrier pigeon, lol. 🤣 I’m really glad that you finally received it. Enjoy!
Yep, it was a 36 day wait! 😓
From looking back through all the posts here, I agree. I think everyone else got theirs a bit sooner than that.
Seeing you guys receive your pretty iPads makes me so excited for mine, which makes the wait feel a lot more excruciatingly long than it already is 😭.
I think you, @Namara , and I are gonna have a little competition at who can overlay funny Text over stock images of iPads and things alike.
