How long after shipping should my iPad arrive?

I ordered an iPad, a magic keyboard, an apple pencil and a free a gift card or something a little over a week ago. The magic keyboard was delivered smoothly the other day and by that time i had been charged for all of the products i ordered. Then I was informed there was some sort of payment issue (which doesn’t make sense) and then they gave me all my money back :/ BUT the iPad and Apple Pencil are still “preparing to ship” and the delivery date was yesterday. I talked to an apple representative and he tells me “everything is fine, you will be charged when the item ships”. Frankly i don’t believe this because the money isn’t “pending” in my account right now. It’s usable money and I know apple won’t ship me a device for free. What do I do?

That is the link provided by Apple to use if you experience a problem. You can contact Apple Support to ask them about the status of the other parts of your order. As you can see by your screenshot, it says preparing to ship, not shipped. So it is still with Apple and could remain that way if there is a payment problem.
