iPad Pro 9.7 ordered / Waiting for delivery

Seems it's hit or miss as far as getting FedEx or UPS. I was very very lucky with my FedEx delivery. I hate FedEx because they tend to leave stuff right on my front step, rather than putting things up on the porch. Fortunately, it looked like more heavy rain today, so they actually put it on the porch (hidden from view from the street).
When I got shipping notice last night, it said it would deliver between 11-1. Was I ever surprised (and scared), when I got a notification that it had been left at the front door at 9:30 a.m.! I didn't make it home until after 10, but it was waiting for me. Got it all plugged in and restoring while I went off to an appointment, and it was all ready and done when I got back.
This was from AT&T, and I did not get up to pre-order early. Didn't even decide to go for it until the 28th!
Decided to go ahead and use an Apple gift card to offset the cost of the pencil, and it will arrive tomorrow. (?!)

It's 2:45pm here in CO. Mine's said "out for delivery" for more than 12 hours now. I've had UPS screw me before, saying they attempted delivery of items they hadn't, so I've been literally staring at my open front door since 8am. I expect it'll be 7pm before I get my iPad. *twiddles thumbs*
Same here. It went to "Out for Delivery" shortly after 5am this morning and I'm still waiting. I'm gonna be grumpy if they show up at 9pm tonight. I've left my front door open so I can listen for the attempted "ding dong dash" that UPS loves to do. :/
Apparently our iPads are traveling together. They must have decided to visit all of the Korean tourist traps before going to their new families. I hope they look lots of pix and tried the 4K video cam.
Happy Birthday! I hope we aren't being set up for April Fools.

The games that I play most often are Clash of Clans & Clash Royal.
I also play Minecraft sometimes. I also like The Room & now have the sequels to load in. Have you tried Monument Valley?
The big games that I was referring to were things like Broken Age and Big Fish find-it games (like Final Cut and the Mystery Case Files series).
My grumpiness is confirmed. Just got off the phone with . UPS screwed up. Not getting my iPP until very late tonight - probably after 9pm. I am seriously pissed.
Congrats!
I really don't want to win the "latest launch day delivery" award though, haha!
Received at 3 pm PST. Coming from an ipad 4.
What a huge difference in...well...everything!!

What is it with Glendale?! I'm sitting here getting grouchier by the second, haha
Of course, had I gone to work today, I'm sure they'd have left a note at 8am. *rabble rabble*I could've waltzed into Arrowhead Apple Store to pick up my iPad today at 10am had I not preordered. But with my luck it would've been sold out, then. Grr. iPad Pro 12.9" had launch day in-store pickup. Wish they'd just do that all the time so I don't have to deal with 9pm UPS.
Just got mine an hour ago in the San Fernando valley. Coming from a dying Mini 2, this thing is amazing. The pencil is going to change my life !

I know! I keep thinking I should have just gone to Arrowhead Apple Store. Oh well. I'm getting lots of stuff done at home that I've been sort of putting off while waiting.
I have family in Glendale that regularly complain about receiving UPS deliveries well after the sun goes down. There must be something logistically that creates that issue versus other places in the valley.
got mine 30 minutes ago! plugged it in and did a clean install of iOS 9.3.1 since it came with only 9.0 and dont want to deal with that safari glitch. now just waiting to finish syncing and will be ready to use! i'm excited and have been having ipad withdrawls for the last week lol i sold my old one.
FINA-FREAKING-LY! I could've just commuted into work today, but at least it finally got delivered
Good luck to the rest of the Glendale peeps - can't be long now.

Got mine. The UPS guy usually drops by around noon to 1pm, but ran a bit late today for some reason. So happy to be able to use the Pencil for notes again after sending the 12.9" back. Not entirely sold on TrueTone yet, but I'll give it time.
Setting up new is giving me a chance to re-arrange my apps a bit to see if there's a better configuration for my homescreen. And cull things I haven't installed in a while.

Ditto - mine looks the same. It was the easiest set-up ever. Quick and uneventful. Even the cellular transfer was simple - didn't even need to transfer SIM cards or anything. Plan just transferred over.
