Massive Charlie Foxtrot. IPP came up with store first tried adding my pre-order and it crashed. Tried several times.
Noticed ID.me came up so jumped on it and got my order in that way saving 10%!
My pre-order with Apple was all set beforehand, when my Ipad Pro came up on Applse Store first - I began processing my order when it failed - once back in my pre-order information went poof!
Luckily I noticed ID.me had come up so luckily placed my order through them (dropping price from $1599 to $1439 -cost savings of $159.90 plus use of Apple Card saved me another 3% - total 13% savings) Took me until 631 AM MDT to finally get order placed. For me the Apple Store was almost non existent this morning!
