Due to COVID-19 and the large number of people working and schooling remotely, there is extreme demand for most mobile devices in this class. You cannot expedite the process as there are many other people who need a device just like you do. They fulfill the orders as quickly as possible. Right now, due to COVID, most devices are seeing back orders in excess of 2 weeks (many chromebooks are backordered until mid December). The iPad Pro is seeing additional constraints due to being a business device, school device, and sharing the same hardware with the Apple Silicon macOS development units. I order hundreds of devices. My iPads have been taking 4-5 weeks to arrive. You should see the account charged when the device ships.
