I remember when I did the in-store pick up last year, my card did not get charged till after midnight prior to the launch date. So you should expect a charge and an e-mail saying it's ready pick up between midnight and till you wake up on Friday.

guess I'm staying up tonight.... hopefully, I'll get something at 12:01AM local time? :) If not, I guess I'll have to call Google in the morning to figure out what's going on.
 
I also ordered in store pickup and haven't gotten charged yet by Apple. I was trying to remember when they charge us?

I ordered on 10/16 and I'm scheduled to pick up the 12 Pro tomorrow.... Order status was the same as of last night and I never got the pick-up email.

This morning, the order status page became inaccessible, only showing an error message. Even my other previous orders for cable and chargers were not visible. With just 24 hours to go until pick-up time, I'm wondering if Apple is doing some system update. However, my credit card still doesn't show an authorization yet.(no change in my available credit as well)

Edit: just got notification from my credit card. Available credit down by more than $2000!!! (for two iPhone 12 Pro) Yay!!! Why is it that I'm always so happy when I'm forking over money to Apple?(but no so happy when the soda vending machine in hotels want $3.25 for a 12-oz can of Coke? until that machine started accepting Apple Pay... then I was all happy again))

Well... I'll be even happier if the Apple Store gives me the official Apple face mask... but I know that's not gonna happen. :(

So, my phone charge disappeared from pending charges on Friday, but hasn’t moved over to actual charges yet. I picked up the phone with no problems on launch day.

Is this normal? What are the chances of an  mix-up? 😂

It will come back!
 
Collected mine on Friday, pre-ordered online for in store collection. No one scanned my QR code, I was just handed the device and that was it.

The pending charge to my debit card is gone, balance shows no money has been taken and upon contacting the bank no payment is scheduled to be taken?!

Just weird that it wasn’t taken the day before or day of collection. The MagSafe charger that I bought at the same time but paid for in store has come out as normal.

Maybe we’ll be special cases? 😂
