AirPods Pro 3 still preparing to ship

[philpalmiero]

When will mine ship?!?

Apple usually use next day delivery so they probably won’t ship until the 18th

Typically Apple products that are pre-ordered for launch day will show “preparing to ship” until the day before OR sometimes even the day of…but they’ll arrive on time. Don’t be shocked if you don’t get any shipping notification until Friday morning 🤣

On the order page for delivery here in Seattle, it says "Delivers Oct 2 – Oct 9".

Likely due to backordered inventory

This is the correct answer, sort of. Most times, there is no shipping. For phones, the units are already in local warehouses waiting to be delivered, having been shipped well before even the keynote. The tracking isn’t really real as Apple has really strict policies on holding packages till the big day.

This is why some units are always delivered early, just days after the big reveal.

Trust me, millions of iPhones aren’t being shipping from China the day before they are set for delivery!

Mine are showing as shipped.

Funny enough, UPS is showing them shipping from Inglewood, Ontario, Canada. My guess is that it’s Inglewood, California.

Because UPS doesn’t have anything remotely warehouse-related in Inglewood/Caledon, Ontario.

My iPhone, AirPods, and Ultra 3 are also all coming from Inglewood, ON. I'm also in Canada though.

Nevermind. Apparently there is a UPS warehouse in Caledon:Inglewood on Dixie.

i ordered ours late... sep 29 to oct 6 BOOOOOO

i got a Memoji on mine... nothing on his (his choice)

that also means i had to pay full price for mine vs the veteran's store discount... i REALLY wanted that Memoji!

My status has updated to ready to be picked up so I collect at 9 am tomorrow from my local Apple Store

 

[jimp81]

Mine shipped but UPS still doesn't have them. Not nervous yet but would very much like to get them tomorrow.

My order still says shipping to store but apple has had issue collecting money from Klarna this morning who have since cancelled their end.
Called Apple who said they’ve referred to payments team to see if they can resolve but looking unlikely.

as I’ve written this, order has just changed to ready to pickup. Are they now free?! Haha

 

[judyg951]

I just ordered for in-store pickup. I could get them later today.

I ordered from Verizon a few days ago, but FedEx messed up the order saying they left a sticker today (they didn't), so gotta wait til Monday til they redeliver 😶🫠
