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

My Next Day Air order shipped. UPS has the iPad and it'll be delivered tomorrow. The UPS email said that it's coming from Follett 2128, which is apparently Fresno State University. I'm in the SF Bay Area.

Quote from Swampthinq :
did they not require student ID? Was the price labeled there in the bookstore? it would be difficult to make it in an hour after the deal goe sup here unless you live nearby and even saw it on time in the first place.
No ID and it priced at the register.

Quote from Swampthinq :
was this all a price mistake? it makes no sense why they cancel orders.
Not a price mistake since so many got these the first time and even now, the second time. Seems like low stock and a lot of demand.

Just curious for those of us who paid for one day shipping and are lucky enough to get both items.... but they shipped separately. Are we getting charged once or twice for the one day shipping? Like many of you I've received the pencil but the iPad says on order, shipping soon.

iPad is still "On Order-Ships Soon" but my pencil order got cancelled with the message: "Cancelled – Please contact us for assistance."I can only assume it's because I don't have an .edu email?

Because the pencil is current retail sku and any D&H center closest to you can fulfill it. The iPad isn't a current sku so only certain locations stock them.
