Hmf. Mine bloody isn't, and I ordered it within 30 minutes of the ordering process going live in the UK. *sulks*

Pug72 above in the UK ordered at 8:28...I ordered at 8:30 (going by the receipt email). Pug72 has his...I don't. That was the cut off between 5-7 days delivery, and 19-26 November delivery. So I "just" slipped into the second batch unfortunately but it can't be that far behind!
 
I'm now in the position of wait to order if "in-store pick-up" becomes available, or order and wait for 4-5 weeks... I don't know what to do! Ahhhhh! Lol


Kallum.

You should always order online no matter what. You can always cancel the order if you get lucky with a store.

Let's have a race....... See who's first to post their update for the 19-26 November waiting list. (◕‿◕)
 
At a guess I'd say there will be copies. But, as Apple seem to achieve over and over again, the copies will be not as good. I'd imagine there will be noticeable lag or the weight/size of the pencil won't be optimal. Some will probably put buttons on them which you'll soon disable as they will get in the way.

Someone should make a clipper for it though so it can clip onto a shirt pocket or inside jacket pocket.

For the "clip" - 5 days left in this campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1183644800/quarter-connecting-ipad-pro-and-apple-pencil-seaml
 
I called the local Apple Stores today and one or two stores said "today the Pencil has been sold out." Does it mean that they were once available today? Or it's just a better way to say "we haven't had any"?

That's probably a better question for them..why didn't you ask them..no one on this forum will know what they meant.

I finally got around to ordering mine on Friday (11/13) in the afternoon. Says the iPP is supposed to deliver 11/25-11/30.

Says the pencil is supposed to deliver 12/17-12/23.

You're right. Just called them again and the staff said she could only tell me that the record said out of stock, but couldn't confirm if there was stock earlier or would there be stock tomorrow.

A staff of the other store said that he hadn't seen any stock since he started work today.

Mine arrived today! Was quoted 5-7 days so well ahead of schedule.

Thanks for the input, but if I use an Apple Gift Card and cancel will it be more complicated by doing so?
You could always purchase it with cash/credit, and once the gift card gets re-issued go to the apple store and have them re-ring the purchase, using the gift card. You are within the holiday policy so you have til after Christmas!
 
Ordered on release day around 11 hours after orders opened, 3-4 weeks, December 7th is my estimated time frame.

Do you have any info about when your credit card was charged (perhaps the morning before you received the Pencil). And when your status changed on your order from processing to preparing for shipment?

Despatched Friday evening

Arrived today

I'm from the UK, all logistics here are handled by a third party (not Apple). I'm not sure the method here will have relevance to the US.
 
Ordered on the 11th 10 minutes after it went live. Still shows "Processing Item" I am really hoping I get it before I leave for a trip On the 20th.

Processing Items Available to ship: 5-7 business days Delivers: 19 Nov, 2015 - 23 Nov, 2015 by Next Day Shipping, before noon
