I’ve no doubt it’ll be shipped, I had a case dispatched at 7.47 this morning but it hasn’t been handed to the carrier yet.

tracking takes a while to update so the carrier likely already has it or will pick it up real soon. chances are if it says it'll arrive tomorrow then it will. worrying about tracking is only gonna stress you out :)

No stress here other than my iPads still saying preparing for dispatch (just the case due in June which is now arriving tomorrow). I think they send pallets across to DPD then they’re scanned in - happens with lots of my online orders.

I'm waiting to buy the keyboard in-store.

Got my sealed genuine surf blue smart folio for £30 from eBay, and my eBay Apple Pencil 2 turned up this morning for £78

Happy days
What size are you going for? I want surf blue but don’t think the 12.9 will fit? I love that colour and have it for my iPhone and watch already.

O2 history seems to be that they work through model by model, rather than strictly in the sequence they receive orders.
Ive had email shipping confirmations in the middle of the night for deliveries that have turned up the next morning
I've not heard anything for my 12.9 IPP from them, but I'm cautiously optimistic as I placed my order at 12.41 (O2 are always early ) on order day.

Still at PFS - Have even resorted to seeing how long it takes to travel from Apple's Warehouse to Bristol. Must keep calm. Must stop checking shipping status. Its just an iPad....

Every email notification I get makes me jump with anxiety... and then disappointment.. I need a distraction :D

Also, how do you know the package is in your local depot?
(My iMac M1 shipped today with UPS and it's in Cork, Ireland)

Yep same with every email notification - Is it shipping confirmation? nope just another marketing email. ?

I don't know for sure my iPad is there, but every time I order something from Apple is comes from Syncreon Technology, which is Apple UK Distribution warehouse in Hinkley. DPD also has a Distribution hub nearby which is presumably were products are distributed from, once picked up from Syncreon.

Assume there is a depot near bristol too. So it may well not leave until 11-12 tonight to that depot, then be out for delivery after 6am. Still plenty of time :)

I would presume all they see is what you see on your screen, plus a few extra ‘Apple’ buttons etc

To be honest I don't know if the support people see much more than we do? Maybe addresses / locations etc but not huge amounts of info.

It's not like they're in the warehouse watching what is getting shipped out.

If I was that support person, I too would tell you it'll ship by 26th to come on the 27th (as that's what the site says)!
