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

Still no change on mine. Shipping authorization for $8 still on there from yesterday at 4:50pm est. Main order info still says in process. Both the pencil and tablet say not ready. I know some people said last time it took weeks to have theirs canceled. I was hoping the shipping charge was a good sign. Not so sure anymore.

Quote from JayhawkDeals :
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.
Yes, but the catch is that the M1's, M2… Are more privacy invasive, that's what the privacy activist say. When Apple says that 'Apple is privacy' They mean they will try to protect your privacy from other entities, but not from Apple itself. They're finding it so profitable to sell your info that they're starting to do it more and more like everyone else…

I got the same thing. Does that mean they won't fill the order?

Did you contact them.i am not sure what are the choices.. as suggested by store person on phone I replied to email which gives to their fulfillment team.I suggest email and ask for options.Edit : I got an email that we are cancelling the ipad was not in stock so we cancelled the pencil to avoid you being charged the full price on pencil.Now both line items show cancelled and so does the entire order status.I got one of the 13inch with pencil though hopefully arriving tomorrow

I just received a pencil, but the 128GB iPad is showing that it's on order and ships soon. I had also ordered a 256 GB from another store, but that was canceled right away

Looks like the pencil shipped for me too, with iPad shipping soon. What's weird is that I was charged shipping on tax, called "Shipping Tax." Is that normal?
