No charges made but my iPhone 7 Plus 128GB Black is now also 'preparing for dispatch'.

Coming from China, or just too late in the UK for Friday delivery, meaning Monday it is?
I suspect they will send out over the weekend or Monday and then start arriving Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
 
I got one of them also!!!!!

I'm not cancelling anything though until I actually have it in my hands. Still can't quite believe it!!!

Haha, yeah, I'm a bit apprehensive of cancelling anything. But I have an EE order to cancel, one from Carphone Warehouse, another site that said they'd have it within a couple of weeks, Apple themselves and now these 2. If I don't cancel a couple of these then I'm going to be in trouble

20 minutes on hold to Apple about failed Apple Pay payment... wonder how many people used Apple Pay? :D
I used Apple Pay but just remembered I factory reset the device before sending it off to Envirofone... probably disabled that card...
 
Just got off the phone to Apple, my order is back to processing but he says within 24 hours it'll be on preparing for dispatch! Had exactly the same with the Apple Watch last week!

Oh yeah because it is tied to the account isn't it?
 
Just had an issue with my Apple Pay payment for my 2x iPhone 7 Plus 256GB.

Order status page popped up with a red update your payment details thing, I updated to use my credit card, said payment successful.

Then got a text from HSBC saying fraud detected, called HSBC to confirm. Banks says Apple will have to retry payment again.

Damn it, my order status still on processing for 20th - 22nd.

When my payment for Apple Watch got delayed because of an Apple Pay problem, it was soon sorted and didn't delay my delivery date at all. Just had to sort it out again with Apple over the phone for 7+ and delivery dates are still the same, you'll be fine. :)
 
Well I'd love to talk about the 7 plus but I haven't had a chance to use it yet as it won't restore from back up. After wasting 3 hours I've had to wipe it and start all over again and it's telling me it's going to take an hour and that doesn't include downloading all the apps.

Scrap that it's now saying 2 hours.
 
Too many replies to sift through but has anyone else got an iPhone coming from Very tomorrow? Mine is the 128gb Black and is supposed to be coming tomorrow (and has been despatched!)

Same... do you think this adds a delay to the shipment?
 
Just a heads up everyone. Don't ignore John Lewis website. The had 5 JB 128 + a few mins ago. Just accidentally bagged two of them (one of which I'll be canceling) One is being delivered to a local Waitrose tomorrow and the other was from a collect plus point for Monday.

Now to start the process of cancelling the other pre orders I've got pending

Bearing in mind that John Lewis cache stock levels aggressively, here's a graph:

thanks, i tried web chat with apple, they said the system will retry payment again.

Does the phone staff do anything different to speed it up?
 
my Black iPhone 7 plus 128gb scheduled for 20-22nd September is now preparing for dispatch too, but the money hasn't gone from my credit card. Paid with Apple Pay and the pending transaction appeared for a few days and then disappeared, but since status has changed no payment has been taken.

Should I be worried or if it is in the Preparing for Shipment does that mean they have taken the payment it just isn't showing yet?
 
Had a problem with apple taking payment. On hold to them now. Does anyone know long they keep you on hold for?

Nope, same people I'd imagine! As I needed to give card details they told me to phone when I spoke to chat. They can't take payment details over the online chat apparently!

At least you had a status change, mine still says processing!
