I was told today over the phone they could do it, or I could go into the store. I went into the store and was told tomorrow for sure, possibly tonight at 9PM PST.
Got a tip for us?

I've been checking the site and they aren't up yet. Chatting with a rep and he told me it will be 8am EST.
I am waiting for Best Buy to be order-able. $200 off on 2 year contract or $100 off on EIP for Verizon's versions.
Mine said the same thing but now when I got to view the order tracking it says shipping November 7th. What does yours say when you look at it now?
Go see for yourself. If you sign up for a 2 year contract it is $200 off.
If you go with the installment agreement it is $100 off. Both ways it is better than going through Verizon itself.
I just ordered the iPad Pro 12.9 inch 2018, Space Grey, 64 GB today, and it will ship on November 7th. I can't wait to get mine. I plan to use it for my college education, and it will come in handy to take notes and other tasks.
I decided to go with 64 GB since I have 2 TB of storage with iCloud. It's a lot cheaper at 9.99 per month than paying more onhand storage than I need. My previous model was the iPad Air (1st generation) at 64 GB, and I barely used all of its memory. I also use my iPhone X with 256 GB, and it may have used about 35 GB with it.
Now I have to get an Apple Pencil 2nd Generation, a protective case, and a USB-C to USB-A 3.0 charging cable for it. I just have a 2015 MacBook Pro that only uses USB 3.0. I am sure the new Apple Pencil will probably sell out for a while. Damn you Apple for making me handing out so much money again. I really do believe I will like this new iPad Pro 12.9 inch for many years to come.
Update: A few days ago, I decided to change my order from an iPad Pro 12.9 inch, Space Grey, 64 GB to an iPad Pro 12.9 inch, Space Grey, 256 GB. However, it delays my new order from the shipping date of 11/7/18 to 11/14/18. I was just worried I will run out of storage if I got the 64 GB. I was able to find an Anker USB-C to USB-A cable on Amazon that was sold as almost new for $9.00. I just have to save up for the new Apple Pencil and a protective case. I might even buy that new folio case with a keyboard in the future, but at $200 that makes it very expensive. I hope some other company will make a similar one at a cheaper cost. I read Otterbox will be coming out with one of their protective cases for it, but it might impede the ability to charge the Apple Pencil.

Nice. I think I will buy. $1500 is around what I expected to pay for 11" 1TB LTE.
May have been a glitch. Alas, seems fixed now. All EIP are just $100 off now.

Preordered! SB 1T 11in Pro! Now to find custom cases that match my geekiness. Launch day delivery and having it sent to my job
Thanks for this thread. I went to my Verizon store last night and they said they couldn’t do pre order. Actually the first guy I talked to didn’t know there were new iPads coming.
