Apple.com preorder thread - iPhone 6/6 Plus

Don't worry about the disappearing credit card/debit card authorizations.

I work for a bank, and for a short time specifically the debit card/credit card dept.

Merchants get a one time authorization code at the time of sale/point of sale that they can claim for up to a year for the actual charge. So it's not uncommon for the merchant to:

1. validate the card and the amount against your account (which apple did when you pre-ordered)

2. the pending charge/debit will drop after 3 - 5 days (depending on the bank)

3.the merchant will finally "submit" that authorization code for payment when the product ships.

It's happened in years past with my phone pre-orders, it happens everyday with other merchants and purchases you make day in and day out. It's no different then a pay at the pump purchase showing up on your account for $1.00 when you swipe your card and 1 - 2 days later the actual amount of fuel your purchased shows up in full. The gas station is just validating the card is good.

Not all merchants do this with pre-orders, but most do.
 
Guys... has this happend to anyone?
I placed my order on 12th, got the 9/19 delivery date, full ammount has been processing on my bank accound since 13th, on my order history it says preparing to shipping, the tracking on UPS shows that my phone is in China since 15th, and now I checked my bank account and the transaction is no longer there, my money are back to the account. :\ Should I be worried or that's how it goes and I will be billed when the phone arrives?

LE. oh well I just saw the ^.

Happened to me too. Actually just started a thread on it. I'm sure it's fine as my phone has already arrived in the states (well kind of, Alaska).

I'm sure I'll see a charge for it soon.

Anyone else not getting anything in their support profile OR UPS?
16GB 6+ ordered at 1am Pacific w/ 9/19 delivery. Been "preparing for shipment" since Saturday. I'm starting to think something is wrong with my order.

I ordered via iPhone Apple App 16GB 6+ space grey 1:08 am PST w/ 9/19 delivery. It's been in preparing to ship since Sunday and still is. However this morning it's finally showing in my support profile. Hang in there I'm sure yours will show up in your profile today! :)
 
I don't know the exact time when I ordered mine (had to be around 2:30 central) , but it's still "Processing Items".....tuh!
:confused:

Did you UPS Tracking show leaving on the sept 15th or sept 16th?
 
Finally was able to get some UPS tracking when I entered my phone number. It's in Mt Juliet, TN. Silver 64GB + AT&T. And I live in PA...I expected it to come from Harrisburg. Shipping Next Day Air...see you Friday, iPhone 6+!!:):):):)
 
Just checked again, mine still says Processing Items, I ordered it on the 12th with a 19th pickup date. Is this normal as this is my first time doing store pickup. I called the apple rep yesterday she said, everything should be fine, but still a little concerned. :confused:

I place a will call on mine and it tells me 2 Business Days left. Does that mean two business days before it arrives or two business days left to pick it up.

According to the packagemapper it is still in ount Juliet

Mine says the same thing. Kind of freaks me out, hoping they don't send it back on Friday. I don't think they will.
 
It is becoming annoying that my iPhone 6 has been stuck on preparing for shipment since Saturday, even UPS tracking is stuck at that Chinese location since 15th... The credit card is charged and my phone is in my support profile which make me feel better, though. Another first hour purchaser, here.

Nope, mine is on the supportprofile but cannot be tracked on ups. Living in Toronto. Hoping to get it on Friday cuz last time I ordered my 4s it was not delivered until Monday. A bit worried now.
 
Finally got my tracking #!
I had ordered a 64gb space grey 6 Plus through the Apple app.
I got in a bit earlier than most at 12:15 and was stuck in processing a while after everyone got their #.

Finally my phone number brought up a tracking # through refrence tracking!... My iPhone is coming from within the states... not from China and delivers Friday. :D
 
I ordered 2 6 Pluses from Apple. One black, one gold. One is shipping from CA and one from PA. One is 1.5 pounds and the other is 2 pounds. I bet its the gold one that's heavier. All that bling! :)

Store pickups have different rules (and have, or should have, their own thread).

I'm betting everyone's store pickup goes from "Processing" to "Ready for pickup" overnight on Thursday, as the store crew opens their pallets and starts allocating to customers.

I understand completely. Mine is on support and stuck on preparing for shipment (I think they all are though, and probably will stay that way until sometime today or tomorrow). I also don't have any tracking since it arrived in ZhengZhou for the second time on the 16th. But after that, I requested it to be held for customer pick up so apparently that means I don't get anymore tracking.

We are still looking for some tracking out of China...a few have seen movement but I hope there is massive movement today for the 9/19 orders.
 
So I have a 128gb iP6+ in my cart and it says available to pick up on 9/19 from the apple store. Is this BS lol?

***NVM Store pickup isn't even clickable***
