Been up since 4am with my youngest, so I've had a long and grumpy wait already :)

roll on 12-1pm. DPD driver has left southall!

My jetech case arrived, looks nice enough but no cutout for charging the pencil, remains to be seen if the other cutouts work or not

Ah good, I'm not the only impatient person then :D Mine's is supposed to be here pre-noon, so we'll see. Doesn't help that I sit overlooking the car park in my office, every little bit of movement I'm like a bloody Meerkat :rolleyes:


*Edit, I can relax for a little while. just got an update. The driver is on his way to stop 1, I'm stop 30... 30?? bloody 30???? :D
 
One thing I will say is because you have no idea how you are holding this iPad you can't help but keep blocking the FaceID Camera..
 
At least you guys can track your driver, all i know is that they say they will be here before 2pm. When i were waiting on my apple watch it got delivered 11:45 am.
 
If it makes you feel better mine is on the way to stop 1, i'm 67th.

I wouldn't say it makes me feel better, no, that would be mean. Maybe we need a group for those of us in anguish caused by damn white van men (and women) - I can say that, I used to be one. A white van man, not a woman lol

Thats crap, who's the courier delivering yours? Mines DHL.
 
Don't know what I did to enable this scenario (if anything), but I have three separate parcels being delivered at three separate times by two different couriers. o_O

Pencil is due from DPD any minute now.
Keyboard due from DPD between 11-12.
Then the big one - iPad Pro 11" - is due from UKMail between 13:05-14:05(!).

Typically I have to head out for a meeting at 1pm, so probably won't have my hands on the actual iPad until I get back. :(

Well I've got three deliveries coming today so i'll probably get excited twice at the wrong parcel.

A braided usb-c to lightning cable and a new camera bag to fit the iPad Pro.

DHL Express but i live in sweden so might be that they dont have same infrastructure.
DHL cant even deliver my package to a service point were i can pick it up after work, since its 2 package in the same shipment and the system does not support scanning two different packages at the service point... So they have to deliver home to me so i am working from home today.

Hey, excitement is always good, no matter what. It’s the crushing disappointment bit I don’t like :D

Blimey, you’d think if they can do it in one country they could do it everywhere. All the more surprising considering the UK is usually at the tail-end of getting everything.

I don’t mind too much, I always work from home anyway, I’m just not good at waiting on deliveries.

And I wouldn't put too much stock in their live tracking anyway. The driver left the depot an hour ago and hasn't even reached his first delivery yet according to the live tracking. So either he's driving quite a way past me for his first delivery and working his way back, or it's balls.

FYI - Best Buy has same day pickup now available through the site. Just ordered one to pick up today. Posting here in-case there were a few of you that were looking to get one.
 
Picking mine up later this afternoon. Can anyone with silver in hand post a few pics? Loving the OG iPad look but curious to get thoughts from others as I’ve only seen one hands on video from Jonathan Morrison

Several stores in my area have them ready for pickup today, but my wife hates Best Buy and refuses to give them business. Says she’d rather wait to get one from Apple. She ordered the wrong size (ordered 64 but should have been 256) and her replacement one is still processing. Hoping to get one for pickup at an Apple store today. She’s too stubborn for her own good. lol

That is what I did. Just waiting for them to say ready for pickup.

My area BBs are showing Space Gray stock but not Silver - curious

Sprint 12.9 shipment is in transit to deliver today but Sprint shipped without the option of changing to hold at UPS location - frustrating
 
iPad Pro due 12:05-13:05

Keyboard and pencil 12:02-13-02

Surely they’ll be with the same driver?!

It’s 11:04 now, not long to go!!

Edit: just noticed ukmail have an option to receive a text when you are the next drop!

Guessing it’s just a quirk in the way it’s working out the deliveries. It’ll be classed as two consignments so it’s probably factoring a minimum travel time between your first and second parcel.
