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

You do have to laugh at all the people who are about to have an impressive piece of silicon in their hands with the M2 and use it to watch youtube and tok videos, email, and play angry birds.

No, that's not my situation. I was replying to someone asking why pencil got charged full price.

I haven't been charged full price for pencil.

Ha… there are lots of creative workflows that can leverage it, from Logic Pro, 3d modeling/cad, DaVinci Resolve, Lightroom, etc. Also, some games like REV, GRID and CoD. And don't forget BASE (big a$$ spreadsheets in excel).

But again, most folks aren't going to use it for that. It's just going to be a "really snappy" media consumer/web browser.
But once you used to the really snappy, it is so annoying without it. I am using S10 ultra and get very frustrated when helping my kids with the S7. I also sold all the FE tablet. 1st world problem, lol.

Any way to figure out what the tracking number is if you don't have UPS/FedEx accounts? The email doesn't include tracking info.

How does this company stay in business? There's really that many people falling for this overpriced junk?

They called me and told me my local campus didn't have my Ipad model in stock, but had the pencil. But being it was a deal, they weren't going to send just the pencil so everything was canceled and to come in to the bookstore and buy the pencil or call them to ship it.
So, between the two deals, now 0-4. lol

Last update (probably)

Yesterday at this time I was charged $8.xx for the Apple Pencil which was delivered today.

Just now, I was charged the $320.xx for the iPad. UPS Insight shows a label from D&H headed my way.

So, at least the 11"256GB are being sent out (hopefully)

Looks like one of my two iPads is about to ship - I see the charge for the iPad on my CC statement now (paid using Apple Pay) and the order status says "Fulfilled."
For what it's worth, for this order, I used the code ALUMNI10. Total was the same but I thought that by using the code rather than the deal, it would help with shipping.

I did get a shipping confirmation email for the pencil, but it doesn't have a tracking. Will there be another email?

Same. My Apple Pencil emails did have tracking but the iPad one did not.

Both my pickup and delivery orders were cancelled. However, I was able to call around and find a bookstore with one left which they kindly held for me. 13" 128GB @ $350. However, they were not able to ring me up for the free pencil, I'll have to see if I can extract one from CS. Good deal either way.
