Did the AirTag emojis delay your preorder?

Howdy.

I ordered 2 of the 4-pack AirTags and customized them with the first initial of all of our names... and then got two with "🐔💩" (I have 20 chickens and figured this combo would be banned eventually).

I also got 4 of the Belkin $12 key rings. It pains me to say I also bought one of the $35 Apple leather keyrings.

My delivery date is still April 30th, which shocked me due to the engraving process I added.

Fellow engravers (and non-engravers) - what is your delivery date?
 
It might help if you state the time frame in which you ordered

I ordered right after 8:00 and got the 30th with engraving(snake/mamba)

They probably have a bunch premade, unless you have custom engraving like your initials

I ordered about 9am PST today and yes some had initials and others for kids were emoji's. I'm in no rush. Using my Tile stuff for now.
 
I ordered a 4-pack within minutes of the store opening backup, did engraving of initials on all 4 and they are suggested to arrive next Friday 30th April which is pretty quick really.

I engraved all 4 and got launch day delivery. 2 with initials and 2 with emoji's. Checked out at 8:04am est.
 
4-pack, engraved, confirmation email came at 8:12 a.m. ET, delivers May 10-12.

At no point during the order process did it say April 30 delivery, and I was on by 8:01.

may the force be with you :cool:

Yes. Scheduled may 10th -12th (4 pack) at first I was supposed to be on on time but then I went back to add the Apple TV thinking today was the preorder date, and when I went back, it was pushed back..

my email confirmation came at 8:05 (ordered through the app)
 
4 pack with a different emoji on each. Order confirmation email came through at 13:05 (pre orders opened at 13:00 in the UK), now preparing to dispatch with delivery on the 30th :)

I was on about 8:20 and I also only got early May as an estimate.

Yep--what delayed my order was me spacing out and forgetting to get online until about 7:30 Central. Looking at a May delivery, but I doubt it will really take that long.
 
I ordered an engraved 4-pack (single emoji on each tag, three puppies and one unicorn) the minute ordering went live. Scheduled to arrive April 30 but already in “Preparing to Ship” status—which seems kind of early. Confirmation email came at 8:03 Eastern.

Apple Key Ring ordered a few minutes later on a separate order is also scheduled to arrive April 30 but is still processing. 3 Belkin Key Rings ordered a few minutes after the Apple Key Ring won’t arrive until the next week (May 3-5).

All but the AirTags themselves are listed as shipping via Express Delivery. AirTags are shipping via Standard Delivery. Maybe that's why the actual AirTags are already PTS.
 
I ordered late lol at 7:34am, got a Belkin keyring and a 4 pack with 3 tags engraved and 1 empty. Ring comes in May 3-5 and the tags May 12-17...hoping they come in by then so I can test and track the wife hahahahahaha..lets see if that privacy stuff is true and they can tell someone is tracking them LOL
 
I ordered a four pack when they went live in the uk (1pm) and added emojis to two of them (one of them being 🦄 💩), my name (Andy) to one of them and my wife’s initials plus a single emoji to the last one. Estimated delivery was for May 4th - May 6th 🤞
 
I ordered with my initials engraved and mine is 12 May to 19 May. Although I ordered quite a bit later than when it first went on sale.
