Does anyone know when they charge for the phone? I thought it would be when it shipped but theres still no charge on my credit card
 
You may have changed it too late. I also changed my shipping address and the UPS page correctly reflects that.

Wah!!! It doesn't get here until Thursday and the two addresses are only 30 minutes apart.. Hopefully they update it. Thanks for the info.

The initial order should have authorized the card. Apple doesn't actually finalize the charge until the order ships. Your authorization probably dropped off, but will be charged when it ships.

Jesus. For the 30th time, this isn't how it works. Apple gets a preauth. That's it. Apple has no more involvement. The charge finalizing is all internal to the bank's exchange and the processor. If it "falls off" the processor failed to meet their exchange deadline and must resubmit...but if funds are no longer available the processor bears the loss because they didn't meet the deadline. Otherwise the bank must pay if they somehow let you exceed your credit limit or withdraw the money.

My phone is in Anchorage (hopefully) and my charge still isn't final.
 
I woke up and ordered at 3:05 and it is still preparing to ship? What is taking so long to get it going? Anyone else also still stuck at the same step?


I am in the same boat. Order was confirmed at 12:04 am on 9/20. Paid for expedited shipping. Ordered a gold 32 Verizon phone and shipping dates were 9/27-10/1 and it is still preparing to ship. Frustrating!

I saw that first post about preauths and stuff and was like... well, where's blhoward2's post. Haha.

Your phone (and my moms...) seem to have the biggest amount of them not shipping.
 
Well I woke up to an email at 6:44 EST saying mines been shipped. Estimated delivery on east coast is the 25th according to ups so I'm definitely not first batch. My moms 32 gob gold verizon hasn't shipped. This seems to be a trend, although it would have sure annoyed me! Good luck y'all.

The same goes for me too. Confirm sent 3:05 eastern 32gb gold vzw and it is still preparing for shipment. Any chance there is a glitch and we will all be suprised tomorrow? Wishful thinking

Let's hope. My friend ordered a grey verizon 32 at the same time and he got a shipping notice this am for Thursday We are both in SF.
 
My phone is still on track for delivery on the East Coast tomorrow and is in Anchorage right now.

Starting to think my phone missed that flight. But I was not expecting phone until Wednesday. So I guess mine may be on the next flight out.
