Mine says preparing for dispatch and scheduled for the 7th so i am guessing that stocks may already be in the UK...although my replacement watch made it from China to England in just 36 hours
 
Is it just me but has anyone elses status not updated from preparing for shipping to shipped? I tracked mine using the reference method which shows all three items have shipped out but Apple has not updated it yet lol.

What is the reference #?

My Pencil 2 ("Now With More Grip") arrived in Louisville in the past few hours and mine has not flipped to shipped yet either. For this year's iPhone I didn't get an email notification about it shipping until the day before it arrived even as I tracked it from China to Alaska to Louisville. Ordered through Apple. It could be because they are 'guaranteeing' one day shipping and if they alert you it shipped four days before it arrives then they get hammered with accusations of "Why did I pay for one day shipping if it really took 4 days??!?! APPLE IS GOING DOWNHILL!!" and on and on and on.

Yup, almost positive that they have a big stockpile sitting in the UK ready usually. Smart folio Keyboard has now been dispatched, iPad 11” and pencil still preparing for dispatch. May well stay that way until Tuesday sometime.
Hurry up Wednesday!!!!

Is the 1.5kg item the 12.9 iPad Pro? I’ve ordered the keyboard too and that I am assuming is 1 kg

The 1.5kg is already out of anchorage
 
Same. I hope we see movement later today.

Did you look up by reference number? (Phone number)

FWIW, everything that I’ve received from Apple in the last week came via FedEx, but it all shipped from US locations. The stuff coming from overseas—iPad, ASK, and pencil—is all coming UPS.
Ah—yes—thank you. I tracked it by reference and everything says in transit on UPS. Phew!
 
Well it looks like UPS doesn’t want to do an arrival scan in Louisville for UPS59. Landed almost two hours ago. It’s not unheard of this happening on Sunday. They’ll likely do the scan later tonight when they start gearing back up for the week. So I guess there’s a small glimmer of a chance that the 12.9 keyboards might already be there too if they were on UPS63 earlier and just didn’t get scanned either.



And while I was writing this they did the arrival scan for UPS59. Guess the keyboards are still in Hong Kong.
 
11” iPad Pro in ZhengZhou
Keyboard in Chek Lap Kok
Pencil in Louisville

This thread is a LOT slower than when I ordered my XS! LOL
Exactly my status as well. Pencil’s winging its way across the world, but my iPad and keyboard are enjoying a Chinese holiday. The Pencil’s pretty useless to me without the iPad! :)

Apple hasn’t updated my order status from “Preparing to Ship” to “Shipped” yet either. But using the UPS reference number I can see that my packages are on the move (in China & Hong Kong) and still on track for Wednesday delivery.
 
So it seems the 12.9” IPPs are in the states, but the 11” IPPs are still in China with both sizes of ASK. I assume UPS has a plan to get them all to us on Wednesday, no worries, but I do wish they’d get a move on. It’s boring when they sit.

Just checked my 12.9 is still in China.
 
Not a chance. They’re under orders to not deliver early.

This. The Apple deliveries are like no other. They won't deliver early. It also gets squirrely if you try to modify it, even holding it until a later date. Been there, got the Apple T-Shirt.
 
Tracked mine via reference/phone #. Already shipping out from Kentucky. [China to Kentucky hub to DFW]
 
Hey Apple says my IPad will deliver on the 5th. WTF?
