Ok .. so payment is showing as pending and iPad is in preparing for shipment which is good BUT I’m starting to think that everyone else has had theirs go to shipped!
How fast can these things go through the system? Seems unlikely to hope for delivery tomorrow now but I’d be delighted to be proved wrong. If anyone can come through it’s Apple!
my pencil went to shipped about 8pm last night and it’s already delivered

I’ve had stuff shop at 2am and arrive the same day at 8am, usually via DPD. They’re the best I feel in the UK
My Smart Folio was due to arrive on Friday and it turned up first this morning. Still no luck with the actual iPad - Still sat in PTS ?

I've had an 11 on order for a while now and it's shipped, but I also tried a 12.9 and I think I'd like to try that one out to see if I like it more in actual use, other than John Lewis does anyone know where I might be most able to score launch day stock? & any knowledge of when JL usually adds the stock for sale? Thanks in advance.

I want to say JL usually puts this on sale at 8am. I’d just keep checking their website / app

I ordered an Otterbox case, was down for June delivery but has been shipped and arriving tomorrow via DPD. Hoping my Preparing for Shipment iPads arrive too!

I ordered the Otterbox case after I ordered the 12.9 iPad Pro. Just like you I had a early June delivery date on the Otterbox case and 27th May delivery on the iPad. Case has now shipped via DPD and I will be getting it tomorrow morning. iPad Pro is still Prepared for Shipment. Hoping they will both arrive together.

iPad status changed to Preparing for shipment around this time yesterday. Payment taken. Still currently PFS nearly 24hrs later. Fingers crossed still for Fri or Sat delivery although I think it’s pushing it a bit now for delivery tomorrow

Can usually order from the online store before 7pm and get it delivered tomorrow so there’s plenty of time yet I think.

I think DPD let’s you change delivery days including to a Saturday.
