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

I see a charge of $8.56 from ASU on in my bank account now. hmm256 GB 11" space grey + pencil proi checked out as guest so i don't have a way to log in on the website and haven't received any emails yet. not sure what time i ordered but it was early-ish, maybe 5-7 pages in the thread
That's the shipping charge. So I would say you have a great chance of the item being shipped out very soon, that's how it happened to me. My order was the same as yours and the iPad is in UPS and the pencil was shipped out 5 hours later. Good luck.

Ordered 128GB 11" grey/silver at 8:50 AM EDT, selected next day shipping. So I was early on this deal.

Despite next day shipping, they can't seem to get into the hands of a shipper that day, when ordered before 9AM EDT.

I see the same message, but I chose standard shipping and have just received an email stating that the pencil has shipped.

- Ordered around 10 am EST
- Received email "iPad: On order, ships soon" at 1 pm EST
- Received email "Pencil shipped" at 8:15 pm EST

Like many here I ordered the 128GB version and the Pencil Pro and paid for next day shipping. The Pencil just shipped and charged me $26.22, which is the shipping and shipping tax (?). Hoping the iPad gets fulfilled tomorrow as it's been showing "On Order, Ships Soon" since I ordered at 6:30 am Pacific time today.
