Well, mine sat in Ontario, CA for 13+ hours yesterday, then, at 3:17am it departed! Yay! Next scan...... arrival scan 5 minutes later at 3:22am, AT ONTARIO, CA. Seriously, what's going on?
Got a tip for us?

This happened to me shortly before updating with my delivery date for today and a slew of scan updates! Mine is out for delivery slated for 12-4 PM!
Normally I would say the dates would push forward, but I think for this particular launch/release, it seems like those dates are holding steady.
Order placed 4/15/2020 @ 12:58p EST.
"Delivers" Apr 24-May 1.
Currently sitting in "Label Created" & Order Processed: Ready for UPS. LEBANON, TN
Sounds like my status is not all that different from some others. We're now at 4/24 so I'm expecting to see movement any day - hopefully. Lot of drama on this thread, but ultimately Apple is also at the mercy of their logistics providers. While it's not ideal compared to the third parties, different logistics providers likely have different COVID impacts as well.
Be patient. It's just a keyboard.

Same for me. Though the tracking number is still active and I can access it through my tracking history. It is still ready for UPS, apparently.
I actually have 2 MK orders. both ordered 15 Apr, but hours apart, both originally with a 24 Apr-01 May delivery estimate from Apple. The first order is the one above and has been “Ready for UPS” at the Tennessee warehouse since Tuesday.
The second MK order was “Processing” with no UPS MyChoice tracking number until last night when it shipped from the Pennsylvania warehouse for delivery tomorrow (Saturday). This second order has typical/expected tracking information as it travels down the US east coast.
I find it interesting that they are coming from different warehouses. Perhaps there are logistical reasons (eg, one order is for 12.9” and the other is for an 11”). Perhaps the UPS pickups from the TN warehouse are a bottleneck right now so they are shifting depots. It’s actually pretty fascinating how all of this works.
Regardless, they’ll get here eventually. It’s nice to see so many folks receiving their keyboards and the consensus seems very positive.
My BB order is out for delivery however I just received a ship notice from Apple. That one will be here Tuesday.
No ship notice from Apple for me yet. In other news, my 11 Pro Max is almost back!
Ordered on launch day and has been stuck in PTS since Monday. Decided to order from BB Wednesday night. That one will be here today. Wake up this am to find an email from Apple that my keyboard has shipped and will be here Tuesday. Oh well guess I will pick the better of the two.
UPS routes are always weird. My 11 Pro Max was on a street adjacent to mine, and now they're off in the other side of the township. Just give me my phone back!
For anyone wondering--my 12.9" iPad Pro shipped today and the Magic Keyboard order I had through Apple.com was still saying May 6th or something like that. Just out of curiosity I went over to BestBuy.com and they had the Magic Keyboard ready to ship and were able to have it here by Monday. Needless to say--I cancelled my keyboard order with Apple.com and got it from BestBuy instead. Now I just need my dBrand skin for the back and I''ll be all set!
I was considering a skin as well, but then I started to worry that it could affect the magnetic connection to the MK?
dBrand is usually very good about precision. I wouldn't worry about a skin affecting your ability to use the Smart Connector.
It sounds to me like the magnets are strong enough where that thin vinyl isn't going to affect anything. At least that's my hope. I would be disappointed if that were not the case--I have a dBrand on my Nintendo Switch and I'm REALLY happy with the product.
There are a few reasons why the routes of the UPS delivery trucks can appear odd. For one, some of the packages are higher priority/more urgent than others so a package specified for expedited morning delivery are going to get delivered first, for example, which may result in them driving near other delivery stops planned for later the same day. Another interesting thing I learned a few years ago is that UPS delivery truck routes minimize left turns. That may or may not explain your experience, but I thought it was interesting.
Why UPS trucks (almost) never turn left
Left-hand turns are dangerous and wasteful, data shows. By avoiding them, UPS saves 10 million gallons of fuel each year. Should you do the same?
No that's exactly it. The turn into my neighborhood would have been a left from where it was... I just found it oddThere are a few reasons why the routes of the UPS delivery trucks can appear odd.

I’m in the UK, cancelled my order yesterday with Apple and went to Curry’s/PC World. 12.9” MK got delivered this morning by DPD...if I waited for Apple, I was expecting to wait another 3 weeks!
