Should I be worried about my Verizon iPad order?

[OLDGUYWITHAHIFI]

i ordered my Verizon iPad on Saturday and it said it was in stock and everything so I’m like cool with two day shipping I should get it on Tuesday. Double cool. So I order and wait. I get a confirmation email that I ordered but I never get one that it’s shipped. Never get one allll weekend. Here it is Monday evening and I still haven’t gotten one. I call up Verizon wondering where the hell my iPad is and they say “well the order went through just fine we’re just in the process of shipping it out”. So I guess I’m still waiting? When I ordered my iPhone and Apple Watch my stuff was shipped within hours. Now it’s going on a few days and still no iPad shipped.

Am I crazy here or is this taking little too long?

You waited all weekend? Ordered on Saturday, next day is Sunday. You waited one day...

I can understand your anticipation, but what advice can forum members give? Do you think your order was highjacked? Do you think Verizon is lying to you and keeping your money? First world problems for sure. Patience is the answer to your dilemma.

My watch says it's Monday...

Could be a difference in time zones.

Well, there's that. And then there are those on the other side of the 'DATE LINE".

Just got off the phone with Verizon and expected ship date is now 12/21. They would not “fix” my order and there said they are out of iPads to ship. Anyone who wants one had better go straight to Apple or just forget about it till next year.

I can imagine that Apple is taking the lions share of their production, but it’s surprising that Verizon is back ordered nearly two months for your 1TB iPad! I can imagine your frustration, so maybe ordering through Apple is the best route so you can take delivery on 12-17 Dec for sure. I hope you can get your’s before Christmas so you can enjoy it during the holidays.

I've been checking the local stock at apple stores. They also don't have availability

I ordered a 512GB space gray LTE on Monday. I paid for next day delivery before 10:30 am and got it Tuesday at 9:30 am. The website had a shipping date of a few days later but the email said the shipping date would be the 3rd.

Nice. Looks like availability in my area is increasing also. We’ll see today!

On an unrelated note, does anyone know the reason why Verizon is the only major-4 US carrier to require an actual Verizon SIM vs. the Apple embedded SIM? It seems like with Verizon supporting e-SIM (shortly) for iPhones that iPads would be able to also use the Apple embedded SIM...

I ordered a Verizon iPad on 11/3 and it didn't arrive until 12/3. The data plan part of it is god-awful. I live in a big city but somehow my data plan is only giving me 6mb down and 0.2mb up. What am I supposed to do with this slow crap?

So I talked to verizon today around 6pm because my order still hadn't shipped. They told me that it wouldn't ship until the 18th of January. So i canceled it. Apple and verizon stores around here have them in stock. Its ridiculous though, seeing as some have ordered after me and have already received them. You'd think they have a first come, first serve hierarchy setup.

They got inventory the other night online. Ordered a Space Gray 256gb 12.9" on Sunday night and it arrived for me Tuesday at 10:30am.
