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

I ordered the Starlight 11" Air pretty early after this was posted. Did not order a pencil because I did the buy now think later procedure. And then I didn't want to cancel and screw it all up. Anyway, still showing on order, ships soon. Don't have a good feeling about it.

To those of you who had theirs canceled. Did you get an email or did you check the order tracking page?

Ordered 2x iPad Air M2 256GB in Gray w/Pencil Pros for pickup at ASU West Campus.

UPS tracking show 1 pencil delivered, 1 pencils & 1 Air being delivered Monday and the last Air being delivered on Tuesday. I suspect getting an email or call to pick up at the Bookstore on late Tuesday or Wednesday.

Will update when I know more…

My local college had iPad shipped there. It arrived to store yesterday but they haven't sent any updates. I'm hoping it's because the pencil is arriving later and they'll notify once entire order is ready.

Received the Pencil. But iPad is On Order, Ships Soon


The suspense/tease is over the top. Used to having orders canceled due to pricing. But rare to have part of the order ship, especially the cheaper part of the order that can't be used without the main product.

I mean, it's not one of those Sony Amazon mispricing levels, but getting the iPad and Pencil Pro for that price would be pretty good.

Were you referring to when you could get a full frame mirrorless camera for $90? That is one deal I missed that still haunts me.

Yeah, that's the one. It hurts particularly because I saw the first post within 20 minutes of it being made. I was busy, but not busy enough to not be able to actually take the effort to make a purchase. I even clicked on some of the items.

But I was too pessimistic that it would be remotely honored, so I didn't pursue it further. I went back to what I was doing.

Imagine my regret when I go back to the thread a couple days later, expecting to read all the whining about cancelations, only to see SDers doing the virtual happy dance saying their order shipped.

Did anyone receive the M3 iPad Air 2025? I ordered the 256GB Sky Blue iPad with a total of $330 including the Pencil and shipping. I thought it was an M2, but I guess it's actually an M3. If that's true, it's a really crazy deal — or am I just lucky?

Did you actually get M3 ? 330 was for M2 not M3 so wonder why would they replace it with M3 unless they shipped pencil separately and had no M2 left

Was this for pickup or delivery?
And if it was delivery, was it shipped from DH or a store?

How frequently this deal appears? Have been trying since last few days but the product page has no product? Looks like out of stock for now.

I guess so. I ordered another 256GB in Gray as a backup, and it's scheduled to arrive next Monday. I'll be able to check whether it was a mistake or intentional once I receive that one on Monday.

(My 128GB order is still pending. Thanks to the commenter who suggested ordering the 256GB instead — I ended up ordering three in total and received all three Apple Pencils once separately . Only the 128GB is still pending.)
