Keyboard just shipped w/ tracking from UPS for delivery tomorrow. Waiting on status of Pencil to change, it is currently "Preparing for Shipment"
It's real. I just got my tracking email from Best Buy 15 minutes ago. Smart keyboard on its way.
You should be relieved to be finally getting it... Some of us are still on the waiting list or on the hunt looking for one.
But is in high demand right now. Compared to other companies. I think this holiday quarter... Is going to be historic!
It was a mistake for Apple to send to store before they fulfilled the online orders. I'm excited and will be relieved when Me Keyboard is on Me Pro. Lol

I need to cancel my apple order. Was waiting to get the smart keyboard in hand from BB. I guess it is time to trust in UPS.
Keyboard has shipped for me as well - Apple Pencil probably won't ship until tomorrow due to warehouse times. I'm a BB ElitePlus member, my keyboard shipped for Wednesday delivery for free but the pencil was 9.99.
Glad everyone got in while they could!

My apple pencil order from 11/11 about 12:20am central, is in preparing for shipment to the Midwest.
Yep $9.99. Kept my order for in store pickup for Black Friday, but will cancel it once the other one ships.
Nothing yet. Still shows as preparing for shipment.
I expect many returns in January.
I made my 4th trip to the Apple store today since iPP release to up my wife's AppleCare on her MBA. I also threw it to chance that if they had a pencil, id keep it else return.Frankly I decided too much overlap with the 13 inch loaded rMBP (just as big) and the mini4 is with me constantly. First the Apple preorder issue, then empty box from Staples...I bought the thing just for the stylus ability. Of course you know the answer to what happened. I think Ill be in line for the Air3 or whatever they call the first one with a pencil in the standard form factor(and hopefully the next pencil has some of the cool patents incorporated)... I still might get another iPP in future when more of the apps look less like a large print book you find in the library and for a development test platform. Loved the speed though
Update: Just got shipping notification for the Pencil from Best Buy.
Keep checking on the forum when you have a chance during the day. It's a random process for BB stock to show up. We caught it towards the afternoon time frame.
Just got a Pencil order in at BestBuy. Next day shipping for $9.99. Scheduled to deliver tomorrow.
Now I just need to get the Keyboard ordered...

I've been trying in the South Bay for a couple of days now. Stores don't seem to be getting them. ... or at least not reporting any stock when I call 10 times a day.
Hey everyone who's still waiting, keep checking BB website every hr or so, it randomly shows random dates for availability. I been checking every hr for past 3 days! Finally got an order in today morning and just got tracking number for it to get here tomorrow. In store pickup said thurs dec 3, but express next day shipping was $20. Finally, just as I was about to lose hope!
Just wanted to report that the pencil indeed arrived today just like BB said and it's great, works, new, etc!! Off to cancel my apple order.
