This exactly what I did. Same configuration cancelled through T-Mobile as well. Lol.

Just ordered my Logitech Combo Touch as well. Wallet hurts, but I’m stoked.
Yeah I really wanted the 1TB to begin with but T-Mobile had them coming in June to July. So happy I checked the forum today lol. Is the Logitech combo touch a keyboard?

Yes, I did as well even though the BB app said it was too late to do so.
What carrier is CDW using for the overnight deliveries?
interesting, i canceled it around 9am est and the withheld charges fell off immediately.
CDW is using UPS next day air for overnight shipping

Yeah, it’s a magic keyboard alternative with a bit more versatility in my opinion.

I'm really wondering if they will truly ship today from CDW like it says....thinking of pulling the trigger and cancelling my Best Buy order.

Not saying this as a reason to avoid this opportunity... but I've had some bad luck with CDW in the past claiming to have something in stock, charging me for it and then pushing it to "backordered" status before it ships.

My card has been charged, but no UPS tracking number that should come tonight. Upthread a call was placed to CDW and it was confirmed the devices were available and would be shipped as promised. Considering what we saw with a furniture company and Apple today saying go to stores on Friday that scenario does not seem unreasonable.

In a van down by the river
CDW has some in stock and you can even get it today if you live in the Chicago area for a small shipping fee of $130 :D if you
order within several hours
Also, I think there's some markup.

When I saw the announcement about Apple having them in stores, I just Googled it. There are probably others.

There's stock out there

I'm thinking for $130 they drive it to you themselves
For that price, I want a nice meal and a good night kiss.

That seems a bit sketchy. When they send you the initial charge, it normally disappears…. Especially if it’s not going to be shipped anytime soon.

@Macalway you rock! Got in on a 1TB Space Gray Cellular supposed to arrive tomorrow, plus after I add AppleCare I’ll come in $50 less than buying from Apple.

I put my order in at 5:12 PST launch day for the same config and received a June 9-23 date.

Keeping my Apple order open in case the CDW deal turns out to be a boondoggle.

EDIT - I did see the Silver 1TB cellular was out of stock. Lucked out because the Space Gray has last years image as the thumbnail. Go to the second it’s for the 5th gen.

Yeah, like Nebraska Furniture Mart that delivered them a week early.

I wonder if these retail outfits get in trouble by Apple ???

Good question. If Apple finds out, a warning maybe. It's curious though, considering Apple's penchant for draconian restrictions.
Nebraska Furniture Mart is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. The same Berkshire Hathaway that owns 5% of Apple. I’m guessing they’ll get a pass or the lightest of slaps on the wrist.

I just got hosed on my order. I saw the email confirmation come through and was supposed to get it tomorrow (paid extra for overnight shipping).

However, I hadn’t seen my order on my account, so I called CDW to see what was going on. Come to find out my order was “on hold” then they transferred me over to sales who told me my iPad was 6 weeks out lol.

Infuriating. My only hope is to try my luck at an Apple Store Friday morning.

Similar experience for me. After I ordered I noticed the product page listing changed to 4-6 weeks. I called, they told me about a “tech hold” that the order is on but said they had one allocated and it will ship today. We’ll see if that’s true.

Just canceled my June 23-July 8 delivery from Apple for Thursday delivery from CDW. Opening an account saved more than the shipping cost difference. 12.9 1TB wifi.

The fact that we have two retailers that are shipping/selling already makes me think Apple didn't put a hold this time. Apple just had a vague "releases 2nd half of May" during the keynote anyway.
The NFM store doesn’t even buy directly from Apple. They use some logistics company. So not sure if had delivered there first or that company had delivered directly to NFM.

Not showing up in the my account order status page. Called and verified they have 1 allocated for me. Supposedly they have 1 rep managing this and they’re releasing the orders for fulfillment. If it doesn’t show up tomorrow I’ll be calling to get expedited shipping refunded and if it turns out it’s a bait and switch with weeks out for delivery, I’ll cancel my order.

Will report back if I get tracking.

I, too, could not locate the order using my account online. I called and the first person said they could see the order, but since I could not perhaps there was a problem even though the charge came through on my cc.
The next person sounded higher up the food chain then confirmed the order was placed this morning and was expected to ship out later today. I mentioned nothing was showing up in UPS app and he seemed unfazed.
At the moment, I am wondering stopping the BB said to be coming 5/21 was the best move.

no when i called cdw early in the morning they said customers are assigned to different sales reps bc the business is commission-based(not sure what this means but whatever), so contact salesperson whoever sent you the pdf receipt. and i got confirmed once again about an hour ago that the order will ship tonight as promised, just FYI for everyone else on this thread who ordered thru here

Say a prayer, sacrifice a small goat, whatever works. I’m fortunate since my Apple order is still a few weeks out so I can keep it open.

My guess between all of us hitting CDW up we can triangulate on what’s actually happening. I think reading the tea leaves everyone is posting, it’s legit and if it’s in stock when you order should be good barring any logistics hiccups/f-ups.

The rep I spoke with did mention these would be directly shipping from a vendor/non-CDW warehouse.

UPDATE - got an email from my “account manager” or whatever. Apple is embargoing and can’t be delivered until Friday 5/21.

@xenoako I didn’t receive one either.

maybe i got the pdf receipt bc i got 5% dc after placing an order. and no update from account manager. did the rep tell you that the order will be shipped today but it's only the delivery date that's changed? or it won't be shipped at all today?
