FYI, this is in stock on Verizon.com right now with free two day shipping. Yes, including the 12.9 inch model! I ordered this morning and got a Friday estimated arrival date.
 
Just ordered one for the 11 inch. Delivery to San Diego, CA Est May 29-June 5. Looks like you can get one on Best Buy for next day delivery, but I had a gift card and educator discount on Apple.
 
Finally entered my delivery window 12 -19 May but still on processing so will have to go back into patient mode for now

Moved to Preparing to Ship mode so can finally raise my excitement accordingly as well.
 
Mine was suppose to be delivered yesterday but nothing ! And still arrived at local UPS but no scans since called UPS get crap about because of covid packages are being delayed.
 
And moved to shipped but with the weekend it looks like it will arrive on Monday
Your delivery window was 12-19th May, right? Same as mine, prep yesterday morning but no change since... looks like I might be waiting until the 19th! 😫

Yep 12- 19th - showing on Apple now as arrives Mon 18th May (and if click on track shipment it says order not yet with the carrier network) so guess will arrive Monday barring anything out of the ordinary (well at present barring something even more out of the new ordinary).

It only changed to shipped a couple of hours ago I think - not that I’ve been obsessively checking for the last month or anything....

Haha, yea I haven't been checking every hour or so hoping for an update either... Mine still hasn't moved from preparing, but I guess as long as it moves to shipped today, they may still make Monday. Or I have to wait until Tuesday... what's another day hey? I mean, I ordered iron 17 April... 😭


UPDATE: YAY! It has shipped – Due to be delivered on 18th

For anyone in the UK, ao.com now have these back in stock for delivery from tomorrow. Also, sign up for their newsletter and get a £10 voucher to put towards it. And if you’re really shrewd then order through a cash back website and get another 1%. 🤑.

Just cancelled mine with Apple and have ordered from them. Can’t wait.

Sadly had a discount with Apple that made it worth the wait.

However in reverse just ordered a HomePod from JL who’ve followed AO and Argos in doing them at £199 again at moment (and only a day wait for delivery to store)

Just chiming in to confirm this. You are the real MVP here. Verizon does in fact have them in stock with free two-day shipping. Ordered mine late Wednesday night. It shipped Thursday and will arrive tomorrow! FYI it ships from within the USA so it doesn't have to clear Chinese customs.

That's so tempting using a guest checkout. How easy are Verizon returns though?

Canceled my order for the 12.9” MK from Apple that was submitted on May 1st with no order progress and bought one from Verizon. It gets here on Tuesday... thanks.
 
Finally, after a lot of faffing about with DHL I ended up driving to the depot to collect my box of goodies. Happy friday😃🤘🙌

Mine has now been updated with shipping details and will arrive on err Tuesday instead apparently...

In my experience if you go to a Verizon corporate store they will not give you a hard time at all. And this particular listing says free returns which means no restocking fee. Also, when you receive it in the mail, it should include a pre-paid return shipping label for hassle free returns. I don’t work for Verizon nor do I know anyone that does. I just have a long and unfortunate history of buying and returning things.

And apparently now out for delivery today
If that’s with DHL don’t get too excited. Mine said it was out for delivery on Thursday and never showed up. I had to drive to my closest DHL depot on Friday morning to collect it. DHL then replied to a twitter message I had sent them Friday afternoon saying my package would be delivered Saturday 😂 You couldn’t make it up!
 
Haha good point and thanks! (I worry that my private messages are not that interesting but have adjusted to something a little more meta :)

And arrived - insert generic loving the new keyboard comment....


Well review after initial use is that they keyboard is brilliant, loving the trackpad but it’s heavvvy. Sort of knew it was from reviews but was surprised as to how heavy it is - original plan was to sell smart folio keyboard but I think I’ll keep that for travelling. However I love the ability to be able to grab the ipad and go into tablet mode and as I have no laptop happy to have this at home on desk as the keyboard and trackpad are so good but it really is heavy....
