Airtag order already “preparing to ship”?

Mine changed to shipped around midday here in Aus, still a bit early for you mob, it’ll change to shipped today 100%, give it a bit of time.
I just got a text from DPD saying that my package will arrive tomorrow (30th) and offering me to book my 1 hour slot?
Anyone else had this? Nothing else has updated. Weird as I’ve never had this from DPD before, they usually just give you a 1 hour slot?

Just got my DPD shipment details for tomorrow! Based out of London, UK!
Yep me too. Mine still says preparing for shipment but had the notification from DPD for delivery tomorrow. It’s a standard thing where they offer you a delivery slot. I’ve gone for 10 am to 11am tomorrow 🙂

This is very normal. Whatever you do, do not change the delivery time slot to get it earlier. If you do, you run the risk of messing up their logistics and then they won’t be able to deliver it at all tomorrow since it won’t even get on the van for the initially intended slot. Don’t worry - it means you’re getting it tomorrow.
Hope you get it on your requested time mate! I’ll let fate decide for me lol. Besides I have a pickup at the Westfield store near me at 10am for my second batch of four (and plenty of key rings).
DPD slot 11-12 - still shows preparing to ship on the Apple App - 4 pack engraved
Apple uses DPD Precise where you can choose a slot if available but the driver isn’t allowed to deliver outside of the time chosen. Most companies use the option where DPD tells you the slot.
So do I just do nothing? Or do I need to actually click through and pick a time slot? Or has one already been allocated?
They will be delivered at the most economic time based on the drivers route unless you state a delivery slot
Cheers bud. I was late with ordering my keyrings from Apple but I already have one from Spigen
DPD don’t usually offer this on release day, I assume because of the logistics involved. Outside of that I think it depends a bit on your location. I have never been offered to choose a slot by DPD for anything (apple or otherwise).
This is what I thought. Just wondering if I just leave it and don’t book a slot, will they still deliver it anyway tomorrow and pick their own slot?
They will yes. If you’re offered an opportunity to pick your own slot there’s absolutely NO harm in doing so. As others have pointed out, Apple typically don’t offer this for iPhone launches due to logistic pressures but just the other day had a Mac mini delivered in a slot I picked without any problems. Selected a 12 to 1pm slot for my AirTag tomorrow.
Me too. I ordered the two black Spigen ones from Amazon since they were in stock and they arrived same day to me! I'll have more keyrings than I will airtags. However i plan to return some of the Apple ones.
Mine still says "preparing to ship" but I got a text from DPD telling me it'll arrive tomorrow even though Apple's site says 3-4th May. Nice surprise!
If they do have inventory in the US then I should got my tracking number, Since when they have stuff in stock mine comes from PA - If you go back to the beginning of this Thread someone lives in Chicago, and there AirTag is coming from China

I just checked my order status page on Apple.com and it changed to Arrives Tomorrow, but still have not shipped yet and no Tracking number
My status has just changed to shipped. No great surprise as I’ve already had notification from DPD
