Bought a few things using that. Works well, came in handy and 0% interest.Amazon do also offer the ability to spread the cost out without interest. It can be spread over 5 payments.
Got a tip for us?

I wonder how they do this financially.. it’s not a loan, but it’s a some sort of risk
Thread?
Which iPhone 14 Model are you planning on buying?

Thought the same tbh. Yeah it's not a loan, so no checks other than how long you have been a Amazon Prime subscriber.
I guess it’s some custom instalment plan that’s decided on custom non credit parameters
It's defiantly an Amazon hidden gem. Seems only available on certain tech items, which have to be sold by Amazon, rather marketplace, and I haven't found a way of searching for items which have 5 payments on them.
argh right thought it was just the iPhone payments coz don’t you still have to go in store for IUP’s

People saying Amazon don’t do pre orders for iPhones 🤔 I thought they always put the iPhones live at the same time as Apple it just says delivers on the release date. So still technically a pre order when you order a week in advance.
When they did the price cock up that was on the same day pre orders went live so people ordered from both sites.

I’ll be ordering the phone for a store pickup, generally can get a good chance of launch day stock. Last year they even had same day stock about 45 mins or more.
I’ll be taking my friend who I’ve converted to Apple with me as I don’t think he’s ever seen a launch day event.

Just not like they used to be! All of this picking a time slot has thrown the whole queuing up at 4am and it being a bit of a lottery!
Damn you apple for making things more efficient
that will be the most difficult part for me… so I get it early in the morning? I do believe that my morning might be full with meetings
Ah yes, true… tbh I can’t remember
Just had a look back to see if I am off my rocker but Amazon pre orders go live at 1PM same as Apple. Seeing everyone saying they don’t do pre orders was making think I was crazy 😂 I think it’s just John Lewis that doesn’t do pre orders unless you count 1 day before.
Ah so Amazon do cherry pick the offer for customers.

Yeah John Lewis defo open on the release day.
Does make sense Amazon do advertise them from pre order day based on the events for a few years ago!
Assuming they went live at 1pm too
maybe I’m lucky? I do hope it’s not because I’ll become an Amazonian…
Lol.
We’re all here was were diehard ‘but direct from apple’ fans!
Buying from Amazon*…..
(*Unless they’re all priced as base models again !)
