I'm no longer going to post stores that have them since people getting annoyed they can't get one online when I see they have them. If I say a store has it. The store has it. I hope everyone gets one.
 
my delivery dates from apple just went from Nov 20 to Nov 30 to now Nov 23 to Dec 1.... arg
 
Al

alot of time if the quanity is low it won't let you order online. You need to call that store. I see the quanity available call the Kissimmee fl store shows they have one tell them to check rss it says one available.

rss short for something? other than normal rss feed ?
 
Pretty sad that Best Buy will be delivering my item tomorrow meanwhile my MIDNIGHT order is still PROCESSING!! Unbelievable Apple.

At least in the US you have the option to order from a third party. We have no such luck in the UK, the only option is eBay and the scalpers or an extended wait from Apple. But I agree, it is very disappointing to see third party shop sales prioritised over launch day (11/11) Apple online sales.
 
I'm not sure at the moment, which is more sad...That Best Buy can get these in their stores, and Apple stores and the website have nothing...or that Chris31876 is providing better customer service at the moment, than Apple, by at least you know, helping people track down this damn Pencil! lol

I received my pencil from Apple today, the general situation in Switzerland is bad though. The main Apple stores get maybe 1 or 2 pencils in per day, sometimes zero, while none and i mean none of the third party sellers have any. Some of the major third parties indicate three weeks still on pre-orders that were made on the day of release.
 
Best Buy is now accepting orders for pickup on Saturday--or so they say. Time will tell if they are any more accurate than Apple in their promises.

Yes it is a US order. The guy at apple chat says "The pencil is still within the original ship time and you can expect it to be going out any day now. The availability on it was just slightly longer the the iPad Pro was. But you will definitely see it going out here very soon!"
 
The bestbuy stores in missouri all say they will be available on sat. Nov. 28 when you do an online store check for pick up.
The macmall one I had ordered when I bought the ipad pro has been pushed back for the 3rd time to the end of december and the verizon one is in limbo.

The pencil inventory shows most store in TN and KY will allow order for pickup this Friday or Saturday.

Weird, mine is still on 19-27.
 
Everything BB just went available to 28th pickup for NorthEast and let me order express delivery for 25th

What is annoying is that the rep claims it was always this window. Even though it said the other window until this afternoon, and I have a confirmation email with the 19-27 window.

The best they offered was to pay for the overnight shipping. Of course now I am worried that comping the shipping will somehow further delay the order.

So do we trust this new BestBuy inventory?

Not trusting anything anymore ... waiting till i get a shipping confirmation ... hell with how late my apple pencil ships ... i might as well wait for this to deliver before killing the apple one

Same. Not cancelling Apple order until this new one ships.
 
Mine too, and Apple don't have the guts to apology. What kind of company they become? I don't want even to call them.

Look like I was bitching too soon Apple order was 20 to 30 NOV. change to day to 23 to 1 DEC.
but just so my paypal account and see new charges for the Apple pen so maybe will ship tomorrow.

So I checked my order status, and Apple now changed my deliver To Nov 23rd to Dec 1st.

Same here. However, the good news for me is that at least my smart keyboard (ordered the same time as the pencil) changed to preparing for shipment.

Edit: I noticed that I have pending credit card charges for both items, though, so the pencil shouldn't be too far behind the keyboard.
