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

Since everyone orders the basic $249 iPads they were oos fast and getting cancellation, lesson learned for next time to order 256GB and then prioritize shipping overnight

The college bookstores had some inventory and mirrored the same sale price as online. I was able to grab a 13". Next time, I'll know to go straight to the store when the sale pops up online. That's your best shot at getting one. My wife went to the same store about an hour later and everything sold out quick.

RIP

Ordered the 11" space gray 256gb without the free pencil (was in a rush) with overnight shipping just before 10am ET.

It's been in a "not ready" status ever since and now I just got the cancellation email.

Cancelation Reason: Cancelled - We're sorry, this item is not available. Please order in another color/size (if applicable), or contact us for assistance.

It was worth a shot

My 13" iPad gray w/pencil got shipped, but I also got email saying they offer me 5% discount as it's an open box. Hope it's not open box.

My 11" iPad starlight w/pencil is IN-PROCESS (on order) now, pending shipment. But I guess it will be cancelled.

Doubt it. It's taking them awhile to process cancellations at this point. Got a UPS tracking number for just the pencil and the iPad says Not Ready so doubting it'll ship

I've made one shipping and other pickup, using edu email, in case one is cancelled so I got the other, hopefully not both cancelled. Will update as well if any changes up.
Just received cancellation for pickup one

Local pickup for 13" gray w/ pencil cancelled at both local bookstores I tried.

Waiting for the 11" w/ pencil to move from pending shipment to cancelled, too. We'll see.
