iPad order status

How long should it take to switch from processing to preparing to ship?

I ordered a 10.2 inch iPad Wi-Fi 128 gb - Space Gray with engraving last Dec. 18, 2020. Today is Jan. 8, 2021 and the status is still processing.

Every order situation may be different so offering you a timeframe would not be very useful, nor accurate. Only Apple can keep you apprised of the status of your order.
