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

Quote from InRainbows :
Seriously doubt you received an M3 as it is a different SKU and would scan as a different, higher priced item in their inventory system. CS has some leeway to offer a equal replacement in some cases but modern inventory systems don't really allow for wrong items being scanned. Obviously mistakes can still happen but this would be a major screwup on their part, if so. SOURCE: worked as a logistics engineer

This is what I received( couldn't show the back side due to serial number and bookstore information

How frequently this deal appears? Have been trying since last few days but the product page has no product? Looks like out of stock.
This exact deal appeared a month ago. But it was the same process and issues. Only a very few ppl were able to get them

I made two orders on the first deal last month and two on this one because the first orders for each deal never gave a charge, and I didn't get a single one of them. 0-4. Then some people got everything they ordered. They might have the worst inventory management I have ever seen. lol
Did all of them get canceled or just stuck in ship soon?

damn, ipad got cancelled due to payment declined but apple pencil did not get cancelled but I think it shows $119 not ready with next day shipping. college bookstore closed on weekends. I need to cancel before they charge me full price...i guess i can only call the college bookstore to cancel the order? Did anyone get the apple pencil for free but had the ipad cancelled?

I've been charged $25 and received the pencil already. I think I was charged $25 instead of $8 since I did the expedited shipping. iPad says ships soon.

Dang, lucky. I got the 13 inch M2. The model number is A2899. I didn't pay for quick shipping, but still got my iPad and pencil pro in one package on Friday, so I'm happy with it. Hope to get another one when this deal rolls around again.
