Did anyone who did NOT preorder have any luck finding a cellular model in store today? No luck for me and they have no idea when they'll get them in either.

Pencil is now preparing to ship. Still has 11/16 as the earliest I could receive it. I checked at Best Buy when I picked up my 11 pro yesterday. No stock in store.

Pencil is now preparing to ship. Hopefully I’ll get it soon. Feel a little incomplete without it. Even though I won’t be using it that much.

I was going to order my pencil from Best Buy. But the 11/13 shipping date was close to apple’s shipping window of 11/16. I should of pulled the trigger with. Best Buy like you did. Congrats.

Pretty useless without the delayed 11" from Best Buy. I want to try it first before I open the 12.9 I received from Sprint yesterday. I'm amazed that Sprint actually came through on day 1. Come on BB. I'll go to the Apple Store tomorrow to play with both for a bit.

11" ready for pickup! 2 days late Best Buy - could be worse
Every Apple store within 200 miles of me shows pencils available for pickup today

Picked up my 11 yesterday. I tried to get the $50 price match from Costco. They kept making excuses:
1. Are you a member/ do you have a card. Answer - I’ll go get it from my car.
2. You ordered this iPad online so you will have to call 800 or request online. Answer - I tried that but website said prices that required online account sign on have to be done in store.
3. It says ship the week of 11/12. We don’t match preorders. Answer - THIS IPAD WAS A PRE-ORDER AND YOU WERE TWO DAYS LATE. 11/12 IS IN 3 DAYS.
... I didn’t get the price match. What is being BB Elite worth?

Ordered the day after launch day for in-store pickup. (512 / Cell/ Space Grey / 12.9) and it has said "in progress, pickup Nov 13th" every day until today, November 13th. Now it just says "in progress".
I'm not getting this any time soon, am I?

It doesn’t look like it. I would call the store. Good luck.

Pre-ordered 11" WiFi w/ cellular-256GB (AT&T) at Best Buy on Nov. 2nd. and shipping status remained "WILL SHIP WHEN AVAILABLE". Got updated shipping information on 7th with tracking # and delivery date of the Nov. 8th. True to their word, UPS delivered to house NLT 4:30 that afternoon.

You may want to call Best Buy and confirm your carrier didn't time out your order. I ordered mine on the 2nd, with delivery to home though and on the 5th got a text notice from BB to contact them at the customer service they provided and they sorted it out
Called the store and they are just out of inventory. They showed one in another store but in order to pick up there i would have to cancel my existing order and re-order. I'm not trusting that and will just have to be patient.

Pre-ordering should have gave you priority over any they have already sold in store I feel. Unless they just haven't yet received that particular configuration in yet. I went with Best Buy only due to the 3 AT&T stores in town having the ability to pre-order through them at time.
Glad I did however, because a friend or mine waited a few days and pre-ordered exact same model/configuration I have from the AT&T store where he lives and he has still yet to receive his or even a firm excepted ship date

Same model, same thing on my end as well. Now it says Pickup Delay and if not ready by Thursday, the order will be canceled. Well that sucks.....it was supposed to be ready for pickup today.
