Good point, pls let us know what you find! Perhaps its possible. Many years ago, I bought a tv from the dell Canada store and selected the payment plan. The loan never did come up on my credit report, but I always thought it was some kind of oversight.
Will do. I’ve sent them an email. I’ll update this thread with their reply.

Mine kicked into preparing for shipment just now for Sept 24 delivery. Preparing for shipment this early in the game probably means the phone isn’t already in a warehouse nearby but has to come from China

Managed to order a Sierra Blue 13 Pro with 128gb once the store opened on the 17th. Delivery is scheduled for Sept 24th and it's currently in the Processing stage.

My leather case will arrive by Wednesday though.

Card hasn’t been charged yet.
I used Apple Pay and in-store pickup.

does anyone know from past experience when these type of orders get charged?

From the last two years, Ive usually got Preparing for Shipping on Sunday/Monday, Order showing up on UPS app on Wednesday, Shipped Notice on Thursday night and card charged around that time. But I imagine that the CC charge may vary depending on your bank. That said, Ive always seen the pending charge for the full amount from the first day of order.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Like some folks here I was getting worried about our orders, especially seeing our neighbours down south getting early confirmations (even UPS tracking at this point). This is the first time I've ordered an iPhone for launch day delivery, so it gives me relief knowing our orders will eventually make some progress and hopefully arrive on time.

100% understand. Ive noticed US orders always update sooner than ours here in Canada. I would always get worried as well but have seen that especially the "Shipped" notification literally gets updated at the last minute - Thursday night usually. So dont worry at all.

Apple has always been good with delivery on confirmed date. You should def get it on Sept 24th if thats what your email says and you were able to order fairly quickly. Congrats on the purchase! The week buildup is exciting for sure.

Same here. Used Apple Pay and will pickup in store.
Also bought a Airtag which got charged on my card but no charge pending for the phone yet.
