iPad delivery

Hi everyone,

I had ordered an iPad (9th gen, released about 10 days before the order date) on 30-Sep-2021 and the estimated delivery time is 28-Oct to 3-Nov.

  1. Does it usually take so long for delivery of a new product?
  2. My order status hasn't yet changed from "Processing" to "Preparing to Ship". (It's 22-Oct today)

So will my product arrive by the mentioned date precisely or can I expect it before..?

re 1. -- it isn't unusual for a newly released model.

re 2. -- The Processing status is normal until immediately before it ships. The Preparing to Ship status is often a day or less.

The estimated dates are usually pretty accurate but it could arrive early.
