Much appreciated, you're first in line regardless of any offers I might get. I don't want to break any forum rules (assuming I haven't done so already) so will PM you when I know when my order will be here.
Doors locked, dogs on alert and alarm armed. Thanks for the tip!
Different to what I heard. I was told they haven't received any since launch day. I've been checking every day at 10-11am.Went to Covent Garden today to buy a Smart Cover, I asked for the pencil and a very nice employee told me they received 3 this morning but all gone in a few minutes. She said also that they are often receiving new pencils, but no more than 3/4 per day, so if someone is desperate can try to go there at 10am and hope to be lucky...

I made a whole thread on the issue, and most people agreed with me, that they should just hold their shipments for the day, and open a reservations page at 6am like they do when iPhones are constrained.This is rather annoying though. I hope it doesn't last for the rest of the year. I don't want to keep walking into the Covent Garden store to keep asking. Would be wonderful to find one just by popping in, but that would be too easy of course
They did the exact same thing to me.Mine was meant to be delivered today. I got a text from DPD this morning that it would be delivered. I responded by selecting leave with a neighbour. Got a message just now saying we tried to deliver but you were not in. I phoned them up and asked why they did not leave it with a neighbour? I was informed they can't use this option with Apple products, so they can try and deliver another day or i have to pick up (20 miles away). Arghhhhhhhh
Well, I had some luck today . Just nabbed the last pencil myself today in the Glasgow store...
Thanks again for the kind offer.
Slipping past Christmas is sort of a watershed moment. It will be interesting to see if these ship earlier than expected.My 11/11 11:30am UK order is still Processing... Anyway, I decided that a second pencil might be a good idea (keep one at work and one at home and also in case I lost one). So I have just placed an order and it looks like I will be lucky to get the second pencil by Christmas: View attachment 601244
Wow! A Pencil and keyboard at the same time? Extremely lucky. Still looking for a keyboard to no avail.Was in Cribbs mall this afternoon and called into the Apple Store as usual with little hope of them
having any in stock. Nearly fell over when she checked and said yes they had both the pencil and
keyboard available. Happy Bunny! Apple orders cancelled.
Now trying to work out how the keyboard folds.......
You will probably get notification on Monday that it has been dispatched and get it on Monday tooSo although Apple charged £79 to my AMEX at about 5am this morning, my Pencil order is still Processing...
Do Apple (Synchreon?) process orders for dispatch over the weekend? i.e. could it dispatch Sunday for delivery Monday? If not I guess it will be Tuesday 24th, still within the 19-26th delivery window, but previous Apple orders have generally arrived at the beginning and not the end of the window.
That sucks.Getting a bit peeved here - I ordered the iPad pro and Pencil online from the Apple Store as soon as I could on launch day - got the iPad last week, but Pencil is still stuck at "processing". I feel that online orders should have been honoured before sending stock to stores - I would check my local Apple store in Edinburgh, but that's an hour bus journey from me. Dying to try out the Pencil...........
I checked Covent Garden, regent street and selfridges today. Nada, they just pointed me online. They didn't really want to say if they were even getting minor stock deliveries.
