Hey guys,
I just wanted to get some feedback and help regarding the pre-order that I made

I'm currently travelling in Italy and wanted to preorder the iPhone 7 as I'll be here for a while. I looked up online and since I've a Canadian Apple ID (and credit card), I could only get it shipped to the address on account. I decided to make an Italian Apple ID, set up everything before the preorders went live and during the checkout process, it gave me an error that my billing address did not match or something, I could only use cards from across Europe or USA (postal code was an issue), anyways long story short.... I went to the local Apple Store here so I could buy the gift card and order through it and the lady helping me at the store said oh it's a Visa card you can just put the same billing address as your shipping and it should be fine...I tried asking two other store employees as well as her that my billing address has to match my credit cards on file address (which is in Canada), and she kept saying no this is fine so we went ahead and preordered the iPhone

My question to you guys is:
Would this be an issue when it comes to actually charging my card/ shipping the device (my shipping date says OCT 10-18 and it still says processing and my card hasn't been charged yet), I can still change the payment method should I do it since I don't want to wait for near my delivery date and have up receiving and email that my preorder was cancelled due to payment issues
 
anyone? or even have similar experience ordering from a foreign apple site (aka not your home country's site) or anything?
