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

Just got the email that my 256 gb blue 11 inch ipad that I ordered from asu shipped.
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 ...

update, just got the shipping confirmation of my 13" and also was charged on the CC. however, the pencil status still shows "not ready".
I got lucky and several orders got filled.

First $8 charge for shipping.
Then the IPad charge.
Then .01 charge for the pen which ships separately.

Its happened the same way every time for me. All my pencil orders starting shipping today.

Man I got lucky with this deal, hit on both occasions this deal popped up!

Mine shipped yesterday and it supposed to delivered today. just checked the tracking, package has arrived at local UPS warehouse but it says delivery refused - the receiver doesn't accept c.o.d.s and refused the delivery…

Ordered a 128 and a 256 (both in 11"). The 128 says it is "On Order, Ships Soon". The 256 has a blank statusI ordered both separately before 10am central this morning. Fingers crossed!
The 256gb order was canceled, but the pencil for the 128gb has a ups tracking code now and the 128gb iPad says it will ship soon. Looks like I may get lucky with the 128gb.

11/128 blue and pencil. Just got the shipping for pencil but iPad is still on order. 9:13 am EST order time yesterday with next day shipping to the south east. Not very hopeful for the actual iPad at this point

Anyone got charged separately for full amounts for iPad and Pencil (no $119 combo discount)? iPad 13inch fulfilled, got charged for $386, it looks like it included shipping charge on thisPencil not ready, but see a pending charge of $137

I feel bad for everyone who didn't get one.
Except for you Smilie


I wonder why people are downvoting anyone who got an order fulfilled. Its completely random. Grow up

Shipment email shows .01 for the pencil and 23.99 for shipping. Reflected on my Amex with a $24 pending charge.

The inconsistency between orders is kind of wild.

I have pending charge of $137 for pencil (standard delivery) but it shows not ready. No combo discount (-$119) applied on IPad either. I guess they screwed up the charges?

THOSE WHO HAVE IPAD TRACKING NUMBER.

Can you please go to shipping details and let us know the sender or the address ? If it's also being fulfilled by D&H I'm sure most will get their iPads. If its being fulfilled by the actual bookstore, I think now.
