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 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.
you get charged the amount that was in your total when you placed the order lmao, they can't charge you more than that. you got an invoice with the order summary. if the total is $297, that's the total obviously, they can ship it in as many packages as they want, it wont change the total

Ipad got canceled, pencil charged at full price. Got an email from customer service that they would send me a ups label to send back the pencil for a full refund.

Bummer and a hassle

0/10 would not recommend

I ordered within 10 min of the deal going live. 11 inch 128gb says will ship soon, Apple Pencil Pro got cancelled. Chose next day shipping too but nothing's shipped today
I got confirmation email at 8:50 AM. It looks like this was originally posted at 8:43 AM Wednesday.

I didn't even add the pencil, I had to leave for a meeting, I couldn't read any more of the post or futz around with anything else, I just ordered from ASU the 128GB model, next day shipping.

Friday morning, nothing has shipped. Nothing but bookstore emails about discounted book bags, woo woo!

My pencil just shipped this AM. Even with the slow shipping, I'll have the 13" ipad and the pencil in my hands by tomorrow. Already ordered the case on Amazon, now to find a decent deal on the paperlike screen covers.

Same. I don't see how they can do that either. It's a huge hassle.

I did the next business day shipping but I only received the Apple Pencil Pro this morning and iPad Air 13 wasn't in the package. I received separate "Fulfilled" emails for each item but iPad email didn't contain tracking number, it only said it shipped. Anyone had same experience?

I'm in the same boat as you. My apple pencil had tracking and I received it this morning. iPad email didn't have tracking so now I have no idea when it's coming. Did you do overnight shipping?

I got emails, separately, for the Pencil Pro and 256GB 11" iPad Air, both with tracking numbers, but the iPad has not actually shipped. I did receive the Pencil Pro yesterday.

These kind of deals are the actual slick deals. It's not like it was a price error and they canceled everyone's orders. A lot of people who probably ordered by a certain time are actually receiving the iPads. Not everyone gets lucky with deals like these. No pain no gain.

My pencil finally shipped last night at 10:45pm went from not ready to fulfilled. My iPad still shows no ready. Anyone know how PayPal pay in 4 works?
I picked that but yesterday when the pencil shipped it charged only for the $8 shipping and split that into 4. The correct payment of $85( 1st of 4 payments )and change disappeared. It had been listed as an authorization charge but now there are none.
Will the price be adjusted later on if the tablet ships? Or can PayPal charge my card as a backup if the pay in 4 is incorrect? I added a credit card to efollett as I'm worried about my order. It still does show the full $340 in the invoice on PayPal. However it was finalized by the looks of it at $8.
