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
I called this in the preorder thread - I knew Apple wasn’t going to pre-allocate 100% of iPad Pro inventory for two months for pre-orders. It makes no sense and harms them and their customers/brand to have zero inventory other than preorders on a new product for months.

What‘s the URL for the status page you’re looking at here? Mine just says I can’t access the order status page.
I had to call them and have them link my order to my account. (I created the account after I placed the order so they weren't linked). Once they did that I no longer get the message about not being able to access.

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.
Where does one even see the order from your CDW account page? the only place I see the order number is from the order completion page and I put the order number (and zip) that page shows into the order tracker thing from my account page and it says it doesn’t recognize that order. Maybe because the order is so new? Still, odd that your own account page that created an order has no “my orders” or something page.

Did you call them up? The sales rep I'm assigned to is out of the office today, huh..

Call the sales dept and they'll link your account and the order in a sec

Thanks. Chat support will do this too

I started with chat but they asked for my phone number and called me for whatever reason.

So where did yours say it's shipping today? Did you call and that's what they told you?
The chat agent said it should ship today. My order doesn’t show a ship date.

I hesitate to return to a burning building, but a person from sales snooped around and eventually said they could not be "released" until 5/21 to the earliest delivery for most would be 5/24 with no weekend deliveries.

didn't the rep mention that your order is under "tech review"? That's what the reps I got connected with are telling me now. Then they try to put me through the sales rep I'm assigned to but she's out today, sighs. But judging from all other configurations that are shown to be in stock having projected delivery date of May 21, the orders might start shipping either today or tomorrow.

Yes, tech review was mentioned yesterday. Let’s hope these ship out today!

No movement here. Anyone else?:confused:
Just contacted them, said it'll only start shipping out on Friday. Bastards, their website delivery estimate is just downright WRONG. I've lost faith in them at this point, who knows the order can actually slip further back into the next week or so if they keep changing their words? So I just canceled the order. Gonna be snatching up the in-store pickup on Friday. I've never had this sort of frustrating experience with pre-orders before.

I know I'm repeating myself, but yeah, I've had problems with CDW shipping "estimates" in the past, in fact, I've never not had a problem with them.

They're fine if you're a large enterprise consumer and need a ton of rack units or something, without a serious time crunch... but end users just trying to buy one or two items? Shop elsewhere and save the headache.

Your screen name matches your “personality” on these boards perfectly. Lol. Love it.

What about the guy who canceled his Best Buy, Friday delivery order, to get it a day early from these losers. That must hurt.
