Hi all,
Recently I bought an iPhone online from apple store, in first days I saw my card was charged for the exact price, however, after a while (still in processing) I noticed my credit card money came back to its original. My item is now on shipping (already sent) and I could not find any transaction related to apple any more.
My question is, when do they reduce the money? after receiving it in person? I doubt apple with that system makes this kind of mistakes.
thanks
Im not the owner, its a gift, should I consider it as free gift? :D
Why don't you contact Apple to ask if they cancelled your order?
I just received an email that the item has been shipped and the tracking number is showing that
Lol. Yep, Siri has determined you are not hip and cool enough to be an iPhone owner. Probably sending you a box of turd instead.
maybe they know I'm one of those apple haters, as I said this is a gift, they want to bring me into the jail
Pretend you never checked your card transactions.
found the answer here from internet, so no worries :)
I work for a bank, and after a week (5 working days) pre-authorization are removed automatically, to release funds that are unlikely to be taken. Doesnt stop apple making a new authority to remove the funds though. The same thing happened when I ordered an iPod. They didnt debit my account until 2 days after my iPod arrived, I thought I got away with it…
Very poor business practices. I might buy an ipad using a disposable auspost credit card and withdraw the balance once it has been returned to my account.
They probably will not ship unless the debit of your card works. OP's card provider is just a bit slow updating his online view.
Maybe you're not the kind of owner Apple wants? 😉
