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 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?
Check your credit card transactions to see if a shipping charge went through or is pending. If a shipping charge shows up, there is a good chance your order will go through. If not, then it was probably cancelled.

One of my orders was ship to store for 256gb Gray and it says "In Transit" and the Pencil status is "Not Ready". Looks like there's a pending charge on my CC for the total amount. Anyone else who had order shipped to store seeing similar status?

Got email saying trying to process your order but there is an issue…. Call or email customer service. Status said cancelled. When I called, they said I didn't use an edu address (ordered from ASU store)? I didn't try to correct but not sure if anyone else got the same message.

you will get a shipping email soon for your ipad.
I got 3 shipping emails so far, everytime a $8 charge (for the apple pencil) hits first.
within an hour, you get another charge for the balance (for the ipad) hits and you get the shipping email
update, just got the shipping confirmation of my 13" and also was charged on the CC. however, the pencil status still shows "not ready".

Was fully expecting to wake up to a cancellation email this morning, however instead received an email updating the status to "ON ORDER, SHIPS SOON". This is just for the ipad, the pencil is still "not ready".

Still am not convinced it will ship, but there is a small hope.

Someone made a break down of what the order statuses mean. I have the same status as you. I guess we are still in danger of getting canceled. Fingers crossed!

Same. I think ppl who ordered 256 GB of the 11s seem to have better luck than those who ordered the 128 GB.

Funny because I ordered a 128 GB an hour before the 256 GB (since I initially didn't realize the 256 was just $50 more) and that one is stuck with "On Order" status.

For folks with ipad order status "Status: On Order, Ships Soon" that got updated to shipped or fulfilled did the price show as $0 against it? Mine says that and pencil not ready. Ordered around 8:50am, 128gb blue with pencil, overnight shipping and received the order update email earlier this morning and no updates since ...
Still no further updates on mine, I see that folks are seeing the pending shipping charges on their card first prior to shipment, does it work the same way if paid via PayPal (I did)? Feels like it'll sit in limbo land for a while and will eventually gets canceled ...
