So I ordered my SO's phone 9/10 (Silver 7 Plus 128GB) and got an expected delivery date of 10/25 - 11/11. Was told I would not be charged the upgrade fee until the phone was ready to be shipped ($209 with the tax), as I did the 0% financing for 2 years. My card was just charged the amount, which puzzled me.
So do you still get charged the upgrade fee before your phone is ready, or does it only charge your card when it is about to ship? Not sure if this only applies to people that paid in full for the phone.
