I think I'm in the same boat. I was going to start a return if only the pencil ships. If that doesn't work, maybe the chargeback route.
you still pay delivery and the cost of return shipping

I was charged $8.46 and the Apple Pencil is being delivered today. iPad says not ready.

Was anyone charged the full price on the Apple Pencil and had it ship ?

Those that did get tracking info for the iPad, can you please look at the details and see who the sender is or where it's shipping out of? If it's a fulfillment distributor like D&H, I'm still hopeful I'll get it. If it's an actual bookstore... Frown

My pencil shipped and is out for delivery today, but the iPad still says not ready. But my pencil went from not ready to fulfilled, none of the statuses in between? Hope my iPad doesn't get canceled. Have only been charged $8.54 for the shipping so far

Purchased the iPad Air yesterday along with the free Pencil Pro. Realized that I purchased this on impulse when I already have a iPad Pro and iPad mini, I emailed them to cancel my order. They responded a few hours later that they were able to cancel the iPad but that the pencil cancellation was pending confirmation from warehouse. Got a shipping email not long afterwards that the Pencil shipped and the receipt shows 1 cent for the Pencil and $26 for next day shipping. So I got a free Pencil Pro I guess?

Quote from AnnabelleD :
This is where my mine is at. The order page is very screwed up looking. The total is correct with the discounts, but the line items are now very wonky. I'll probably let it continue to process through the morning and see what changes.


Big "It's in God's hands now" energy.
Jesus, Take the Apple Pencil.

So if the FedEx package I see on my FedEx app is the iPad, it went from NY to TN and is now in NJ. It should be delivered today I paid 2 day shipping
Check the weight and you'll know if it's the ipad or pencil. my pencil pkg is 0.5 lbs.

2 orders cancelled, one ramains as "in process - not ready". I didn't completely give up on this one until I read a few comments saying that orders can stay in that status for weeks.

What kind of messed up order fulfillment / inventory system is that?

I never received any emails from them. I know my order went through but I did guest checkout but didn't write down my order number. Any other way of checking on my order status?
