Ordered on day it was available, had a tracking # (found on UPS my choice) that showed delivery on 22nd that never moved. Marked as shipped yesterday with a different tracking # that doesn't show up as valid on UPS from Apple's site. Supposed to deliver tomorrow, very doubtful.
 
Status of my Apple vs. Best Buy order. Can't wait to get home from work and unbox my MK.

My 12.9 is out for delivery. The tracking number didn’t show up in the system until nearly 3am and it’s still not showing in My Choice. Hopefully UPS is early today. 🤞🏻

I hope this happens to me. The Apple Store app still says 4/29 delivery, but the tracking number for UPS shows nothing. Irritating.
 
I wonder if folks who ordered the new iPhone SE are having similar shipping and tracking issues? It's weird, to say the least.

How do you know it’s out for delivery if the tracking number doesn’t show up?

Apple still shows delivery tomorrow, but the tracking number still isn’t showing up in UPS. At this point I seriously doubt I’m getting it tomorrow.
Yeah definitely not. Sounds like ups hasn’t even gotten the package from Apple. I had an issue with Apple and just cancelled it. My Best Buy tracking just updated yesterday

Finally got a shipped notification from Apple. Yet, there’s no info on UPS.

This is probably not the best place to post this but here goes....

I love the look and idea of the Magic Keyboard but I have the 16" MacBook Pro. I use that for most of my typing.

I've just bought the 12.9 iPad Pro and so far am using without a case. I am torn between getting either the Smart Cover, the Smart Keyboard or the Magic Keyboard. I have to admit the the weight of the MKB concerns me a little. I don't travel too much so am thinking that the Smart Keyboard would be best but then again don't want to get that and then wish I'd gotten the MKB.

For everyday use I use the iPad case less and do find the smart cover adequate enough. As I write this I am "talking" myself into getting this and just using my MBP for any typing I need to do....

Any thoughts most welcome!
I would recommend trying to find the Smart Keyboard, but a used or open box version to save some money. I found an 11 inch Smart Keyboard folio for $79.99 on eBay. The Keyboard was still new but the original box/packaging had some scuffs. You can find some awesome deals if you are willing to do a little research! It sounds like the SKF might work for you due to weight. And if you did want to use a trackpad, you could always get a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad. I typically would only recommend the new magic keyboard for someone who is looking to use the ipad Pro as their everyday machine and as a laptop replacement.

That was me all day yesterday. I went to bed fully expecting no update, but was pleasantly surprised this morning.

Has anyone in Canada received their order? I'm in Halifax arrival date 29Apr - 6May ordered 17Apr.
Curious where Canadian orders are shipping from? Is it China or somewhere else? I feel for everyone still waiting.

Mine shipped from Ontario, California yesterday and is being delivered today in Vancouver BC. With that delivery window I would expect yours to arrive this week sometimes. Mine came via UPS World Saver which is guaranteed next day delivery to Canada from USA. So once you see label made it should arrive the following day.

Good to know, thanks. Mine went to preparing to ship last night and that's where it sits.
 
UPS just delivered my keyboard and after 10 minutes with it I’m in love. I found a support document on Apple’s website for all of the gestures so I’m training myself on those. Any recommendations on settings I should adjust?
 
Finally broke down and contacted Apple support through messaging, since it’s been two days since I was given a new tracking number, and it still doesn’t work. The support agent assures me it will be delivered tomorrow by 7 pm but can’t give me any tracking number on it... jeeeeeeeeeeeez. They said that the number they have is invalid and they can’t get a response from UPS because its site is having technical problems. But, she assures me it‘s coming tomorrow. So, I guess we will see.

Edit — and of course like 10 minutes after talking to them, the tracking comes through and show’s its been processed in Louisville arriving tomorrow. So weird.

Still for delivery tomorrow? I still have no shipment details on the new tracking number from Apple. Hopeful for delivery tomorrow based on Apple's email. We'll see.
UPS just said "In Transit" and an origin scan in Louisville. Given it's proximity to Columbus, OH and based on previous experience with Apple orders, I would be surprised (and disappointed) if it didn't show up tomorrow like Apple said.

Hopefully I'll have similar luck. Apple says delivery tomorrow. I'm just outside of Charlotte. We'll see what happens. I'd definitely feel better if I saw something material in UPS my choice!

EDIT - Now have UPS tracking data - shipped "In Transit" origin out of Louisville.

AMK for 12.9 ordered on 4/17. Currently it's PFS, with a 4/29-5/6 delivery. Just received my 2020 iPP yesterday, so I'm ready for the keyboard!
