For many of us, we have the iPad Pro but we are still waiting for the pencil to ship. I think some of us need such a thread to track when the pencil will be shipped.

Ordered at 11/11
Status: Processing
ETA: By 12/22
 
i think people *should* get their order sooner than they think, or at least during the early days of ETA's.

with local stores actually having some in stock, some (like me) are canceling their orders.
 
I already checked my local store twice with no luck. Gotta try it tomorrow again. Otherwise, I will just wait for it. Don't seem like I have a lot of options. It is really silly for apple not making enough for the launch day. Is it that hard to manufacture Apple Pencil???
 
Ordered through the app on 11/11, 25 minutes after the store opened.

Processing still, 11/20-11/30 ship date.

SO salty about this bad launch. Starting to get tired of playing Apple's games.
 
Ordered 11/11 around 0010 PST. Received confirmation email at 0016. As of today, still processing, 5-7 day window.

Ordered mine yesterday (I hadn't been paying attention and didn't realize they weren't available in stores yet after buying my iPP); 4-5 weeks to shipping with delivery between 17-23 December.

EDIT: this is both for the Pencil and Smart Keyboard
 
Just found out my wife isn't working from home Monday so hoping for a favourable delivery slot for when I'm home from work, otherwise I may have to wait until Friday! :eek:

Same here. In for a long wait unless they pop up in stores. Guess they will be Christmas gifts to myself!!
 
Ordered 11/11 3:10-ish am ET, ships in 5 - 7 days, delivers between 11/20 - 11/24.

I'm betting we see some movement between this weekend and early next week.
 
Ordered at 5 AM EST on Weds

Status as of 10:45 AM Sat is still "Processing" 1-2 weeks
Nov 19-27

San Francisco store near union square didn't have it when they opened this morning at 9am. Went up north to Corte Madera and they didn't have it either at 10am

For your knowledge Apple don't manufacture, they are using other companies to make them the product.
 
Ordered the keyboard and pencil at 2:25 am CST the night of the launch.

Available to ship 1-2 weeks. Est delivery 11/19-11/27

Sincerely hoping its 11/19 and not the end of that delivery window. :(

I'm the late one. I ordered last night & have the 4 - 5 weeks, December 18 - 24th range. I'll check store stock hoping to find one before that long but at least I know I'll have one before the new year ;-)

I ordered on the 11th, mines at 'Preparing for Shipment'.

What time on 11th did you order, and when did it move to Preparing for Shipment if you don't mind answering?

I'm hoping to see mine move soon, I ordered 12:25am PST and have been in Processing since with a Nov 20-30th delivery date.
