couple things:
1. if your card gets charged and you didnt pay via paypal, congrats, your order is getting shipped
2. if your order status says fulfilled, it's getting shipped for sure
3. if it says shipping soon, it might still get cancelled.
4. the earlier you order, the higher chance of it shipping, but dont be surprised if ppl who ordered after you from a diff uni got theirs and you didn't. it's all luck.
5. tax will be charged on the full msrp of the pencil, not a huge deal

Bought some ASU gear while I was at it. That way they know I'm affiliated.

Missed the last deal so didn't read the thread. For the most part, did people get their order?
Seemingly a random crapahoot. I read every damn comment trying to glean tips and clues but to no avail. One guy who also commented in this thread got 2 out of 3 delivered somehow.

Quote from iiconic :
Some got it, but many cancellations seemingly randomly. Someone spoke to a manager and it seemed to be that it does make a difference if you order with a college-affiliated account or with a guest account. Just an anecdote though.
i ordered with a guest account. still went through

However I am concerned that I did a bunch of orders through the ASU link. Those might get cancelled since a ton from SD are coming from there. i went ahead a placed a order from another university website just in case

I emailed my bookstore. I have no idea if it will actually work or not but it's how I cancelled textbook orders in the past. Their contact info should be on the page or at least it was for my school. I attempted to cancel my first order of an 11 & decided to try for the 13" version.

I'm not from this school. Does this still works?

I just tried for a local community college pick up order. Hopefully they have stock and can do same day pickup.

Man I got the sweats...

I'm getting an M3 delivered today from Costco. I'm and android guy but my wife got a 13" pro and I got jealous so I ordered an Air. Planned on returning the Air this weekend because of buyer's remorse and thought about the Lenovo Pro deal.

Just ordered a 13" for myself and an 11" for my mother along with one pencil.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING??? Frickin' SD...
Been there! You're OK. Figure out what you want when it arrives, return the rest!

Because it is exclusively for college students with a valid. Edu email.

They run this offer every year, and orders often get cancelled if you're not a verified student.

I would assume the orders just get shipped to the bookstore instead of your house. Highly doubt school campuses have stock on hand. I could be wrong.
