iPhone 7/7+ - UK Orders & Dispatches Thread

There's seems to be movement already and some model's dates are actually ahead of time.

Let's hope the 7+ Jet Black's also follow suit so we don't have to wait 2-3 weeks :p

Listen, you book a hotel to pay on arrival - they reserve £99 (or whatever the cost) on your account but they don't actually debit the money until you check out. Same in this instance, they reserve the funds on your account to ensure you're 'good for it' then when your phone is dispatched, they'll actually process the payment. If you had a card balance of, say, £100 before today, it'll still be £100 now, yes?

First off don't be rude and tell me to "listen"
£1000 bank balance
available funds £1000
i just purchased an item for £900
bank balance £1000
available funds £100
i can now only spend £100 my bank will not let me go any further because £900 has been "taken" out of my account.
How hard can it be to understand! The payment has already been processed

OMG you just won't get it and I'm actually having to chime in to this.

"Taken" means the transaction is complete. "Pending" means the transaction is not complete.

£900 has not been taken from your account. Your bank still has it, they just won't let you spend it.

That this matters is because whether funds have been authorised vs. been taken, Cupertinologists can attempt to gauge what is about to ship and when.

Did you use Apple Pay? On my Apple Wallet I can see that it has been charged the full amount, even though I'm still in a processing stage. Either way I'm happy that at least payment went through.

I am in the reverse situation. I used Apple Pay and can see my phone is preparing for dispatch and no money has been taken!
 
Not sure if this has ben answered already. I ordered as a Pickup in Store. HAs anyone in this situation seen theres change to Preparing to dispatch yet?

FFS! It hasn't been taken! It's been reserved!

Go into your iTunes account, change your credit card, and Apple will reserve £1 against your new card. That doesn't mean it's been taken, it's a check to ensure your card is valid. Just like today they've reserved £xxx on your account to ensure you're card is good for that sum. If your phone isn't dispatched in a weeks time, chances are that sum will become availability in your available credit again until such time as the phone is dispatched. I worked for a credit card company for 23 years .... how hard can it be for you to understand?

When you did place your upgrade? I ordered a new connection from o2 this morning around 08:05am and after I'd processed the payment and did my credit check on the last page it mentioned the 16th as my delivery date.

Nothing showing under my02 at the moment but I've received all the legal documents via email and the payment is pending on my credit card (available balance is less the upfront fee of £189.99).

My confirmation email was around 11.30 this morning, also had the legal documents and "the thank you for your o2 order " email but nothing's gives me a date. I've done live chat with o2 tonight but all I got was " it might be in the 16th or later " I kinda guessed that lol.

So we are really are not getting anywhere. I do get what your saying but the money has been pulled, and as i mentioned its the same anywhere you go to use your card Petrol station, food shopping etc.. its exactly the same process, they "pull the money there and then"
 
I'm having a bit of an issue with my John Lewis card...

The order has gone through okay at 8.05am this morning. I've just got home from work and I check my JL account and there is no money reserved for the phone. Only the cases which I ordered at 1pm today....

Should I be worried? I remember last year ringing to authorise payment but surely it went alright?

Anyone ordered through Vodafone? I added a second line ( 7+ Matte Black ) at lunch time... only had two emails so far to say I've added the second line/that they will deliver my order to the specified address but nothing else as of yet nor mention of my package and phone.. strange
Click to expand...

I've upgraded with vodafone and had two emails - 'thanks for upgrading' and 'your upgrade request'. The second one outlines the order. Can you log in and check order tracking?
 
My bank have royally screwed me over thanks to their fraud prevention. Struggling to get a card authorised for payment at the moment :(

This is from the Money Advice Service Website
How does a debit card work?

When paying by debit card, the money comes directly out of your bank account. It’s the same as withdrawing cash and handing it over – but safer because there’s a bit of fraud protection and the card is easy to cancel if it’s lost or stolen.

When you use your card in a cash machine or most shops you will be asked to type in your PIN code, unless you’re using contactless to pay.

Does that help?

Someone with pick up from store status has changed to prepare for shipment?
Click to expand...

If you track via the website (the app doesn't give you the full version as such) and click on that blue right arrow above "Cancel Items" it gives you a more detailed description.

It looks like it is very similar to it being delivered to a house, instead being shipped to the Apple Store. (Look at the middle three, they talk about it being shipped to the store and that you'll get a notification when it's ready.)

See image.
