11” keyboard folios are in HK as well and could be in one of these flights. Maybe one flight is 12.9” and one is 11”.
That’s good to know. I was wondering where the 11 keyboard folios were at.

You can see my shipment detail when I bought iPhone XS. Don't worry, they will get to it!!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
Well it looks like we might not see any movement for really anything other than the load of 12.9 iPads scheduled to land in Louisville in a little over an hour from now. I’m not digging up any newly scheduled flights outs of Hong Kong that I can think of. I’ll check every once in a while through the day but I would think that if any were going to happen they would be scheduled by now. If UPS doesn’t get them on their way by tomorrow they’ll be cutting it pretty close. C’mon UPS, don’t let us down.
Actually looking at the times it’s been taking, anything that is scheduled to be delivered on the 7th to the US has to be on its way no later than tomorrow evening. It’s taking 16-20 hours to make the trip from China to Louisville (Ontario, CA for the west coast) as it is. Then you have to figure in getting packages from Louisville/Ontario to the final destinations. Stuff needs to be on delivery trucks by Wednesday morning or they won’t get delivered on release day.
So I missed that fact the show was on the East Coast so at 10am Pacific time I go to watch and see that it's all over! Take a quick look at the iPad Pro specs and place an order right away and I'm looking at delivery Nov 16-21! I snoozed and I loozed.![]()
I'm in the same group. Hoping it gets shipped out before UPS Strike impacts shipping.
My iPad (12.9in 512gb WiFi) arrived in Louisville at 10am this morning. I think this is the earliest anything has shown up in the US prior to launch day for me. Folio case showed up last week.
I also received mine last week and I think it feels like the silicone case.Can you tell what material the folio case is made of? Leather?
For those that might be interestedI think this is the flight for us with IPP 11 coming from ZhengZhou. Only freight flight I could find. Guessing UPS is using them if they don't have planes available.

Another data point: My iPad Pro (11"/256/Cellular/Space Gray) has landed in Anchorage.
I'm using the UPS "Track By Reference Number" trick. On Apple.com, my iPad and Apple Pencil 2 are both still "Preparing to Ship."
Sending out a Hello! to my fellow iPad airplane-mates.

Mine as well.Our iPads are on the same plane!
Wish I had the foresight to order ASK with Pencil and iPad (thought I wouldn’t need it at the time of preorder, now decided it’s just as needed as Pencil), now I have to see if I can grab them in stores or wait until end of month!![]()

anyone find good screen protectors so far? i ordered the 12.9 and am looking for a screen protector to put on asap
Well I didn’t see this one coming, but our 12.9 keyboard folios have a departure scan from Hong Kong. The time stamp is for 6:00pm HK time. I don’t have time right this minute to try to dig up what flight this might be. We’ll see what happens in the next few hours with them though.
Did anyone with a 12.9 iPad or 11 keyboard folio get departure scans for around 6pm HK time just recently?
Quick note: I see there is a Polar Air Cargo flight that took off at 6:05pm HK time to Anchorage (flight 948). So maybe they’re on that flight? Seems strange but from what I’m gathering some people here had movement last night on their orders and it wasn’t a UPS flight.
