I ordered Tuesday morning from Best Buy, it arrived this afternoon. Loving every keystroke!

The unit I ordered from Apple on the day it became available has been showing PTS since Monday, although UPS showed tracking Monday night. Hasn’t moved since then. That is, till I wrote this and now it’s finally departing KY.

Hope everyone gets theirs. My wife is jealous Lol

Mine was like that as well.. Sat in Kentucky until around 4 this morning, then to Pittsburgh and then my home here in Ohio. I didn’t think it would ever leave Kentucky lol
 
Ordered through Bestbuy on 4/21/20. Got it the next day (4/22/20), also got free overnight shipping too. The experience is amazing everything I want in a keyboard, this is something I envisioned when I was in college it’s amazing

Probably the last time I ever order directly through Apple. They screwed this up for me big time. Doesn’t help that my iPhone 11 Pro Max just up and stopped working out of nowhere a week ago...

I don't see free overnight shipping... is there a code?
 
Just to give another data point for Best Buy; I placed an order for the 12.9" keyboard early Monday afternoon with a delivery date of today (Wednesday), and although I received a shipping notification email from Best Buy yesterday evening, both OnTrac and Best Buy's website are still showing that OnTrac has yet to receive the item and do not show an ETA for delivery.
 
Mine went form Thurs —> Friday when the status changed from “label created“ —> “FedEx received your package“ soooooooo disappointing

How did you get free shipping?

Gosh. Sorry to hear that. Will see if mine really comes on Friday.
 
Ordered mine for the 11” on 04/15 around 3pm central time ... it arrived today via UPS. Didn’t get delivered until almost 5:00pm central time lol but considering i was in the 04/24-05/01 date range i am extremely happy :)

I’m honestly resigning myself to the fact Apple is going to screw this up so badly I won’t see it until 5/1 at the earliest. This is ridiculous.

Yeah, I keep expecting to see Apple move it to shipped but it doesn't happen, it's weird since I ordered it like 15-20 minutes max after it launched on the 15th.

You definitely have a right to be more annoyed about this than i am, but really we should all be annoyed. Especially if some people with 4/27-5/4 estimates are seeing movement and anyone BEFORE continues to be in PTS limbo.

I feel like the shafted one in the bunch... I ordered on 4/15 @ 1:13pm EST and got a Apt 27 - May 4 delivery for a 12.9. No movement. CC is still not charged. Confirmed w/ Apple the order went through...

Yes that’s what gets me is people who have a later delivery date already getting shipping notices.

The only thing I can really think of (though unlikely) is maybe Apple is sending massive boxes of the keyboards to different depots where they get split apart and sent to individual people, and something went wrong which is delaying everyone who happens to be in these boxes.

My biggest issue with it is they put it in a state where you can't cancel and they charged your card but won't help you, saying oh your window is April 24 to May 1 there's still time, even though they advertise that they'll only charge you when it shipped yet it's been over 48 hours since they charged the card and it hasn't shipped.

This is exactly my biggest problem. I do not have a spare $370 to just go buy it elsewhere because Apple dropped the ball on releasing their own product. It’s a shame when a 3rd party can handle a product launch better than the manufacturer. I do get paid Friday so if they continue to drag their feet I will order Best Buy and I guess wait until Monday. This has been one of the worst launches ever, and I’ve been through the “we actually didn’t release them on time oops” iPhone 7 Plus launch.
 
It’s in my state! Tomorrow is the day!!
