Makes me feel a lot better about never getting charged!
LOL but seriously we need those macbooks now. My adapters are all here for nothing.Makes me feel a lot better about never getting charged!
I didn't get any authorization charge when I made the order. Just yesterday morning. One for the laptop and another for AppleCare.
Saturday delivery?? I sure wouldn't complain, though--I'd love to have the weekend to set it up.
I don't think we are back to square one. Those "charges" were the final charge. If it was just an authorization, I wouldn't have gotten an email from my credit card company that a charge was approved for the amount of my computer.
Soon damnit, it has to be soonWhen are we going to see some movement?
When are we going to see some movement?
Tonight, tomorrow
So, tomorrow is the big day. Exactly two weeks from the order and according to Apple, it'll be the first day when it's available to ship.
I've been following this thread and understand your frustration due to the lack of movement on our orders. But really, starting from tomorrow, we should really see some stuff happening...
My dongles are ready!!

Guys, first review is out in France... I guess they didn't respect the embargo..
Guys there is a big difference between an authorization and settlement. To everyone that received an authorization on their card for the full amount - those funds are no longer available to you. Apple has obtained an authorization for the amount and are waiting to settle the authorization, this is why it is pending. When Apple ships your item then they will initiate a settlement on your authorization. That's when the funds actually clear.
In the e-commerce world there are two ways to charge a credit card. 1. Authorize only and pending capture for settlement. 2. Authorize & capture and settlement. When Apple charges your card for items that are in stock they authorize and capture because they know they are going to ship your item very fast. When they are waiting to ship an item that is not in stock they go with the first option to make sure you have the available funds on your card.
Hope this clears the confusion.

I don't know you but I will find you and take that macbook of yours.
Good spot. You can translate into English subtitles too in the options. Nothing in there we didn't already know. Does look very smart though.
Hmmm. Not sure if I'll be seeing some movement on my order before Nov 23.
expected delivery date: nov 23-30.
Makes sense to not charge the day of the order when it'd be at least two weeks before shipment. It'd also make sense to pre-authorize the charge up to a week in advance, so we may not see anything happen till next week.
Hoping I see movement tomorrow. Credit card was attempted charged Monday, but due to using a different card, it was denied. Cleared it with the credit card company and the card was charged ("pending") Tuesday. Order has not moved yet to preparing for shipment.
Ordered a maxed-out 15" (only exception limiting it to a 1TB HD) and really want this before Thanksgiving. In the first delivery Window, so should be ok.
