No bank activity yet from my pre-order

I'm having some worries, hopefully someone can clear this up for me and have me not worry.

I pre-ordered the 4S through the VZW website on 10/7 at around 3AM or so. It is now 10/11, and I have no activity on my Chase account taking out the $217.74 for the order. Yet, the phone says it is to be shipped 10/14 still when I check my order status.

Should I be worried that I perhaps accidentally entered in a strangers credit card # when I placed the order, or will I not see any bank activity until the phone is actually verified as shipped?

I am calling Verizon/Chase today to hopefully resolve the situation, but I figured TiPB can help me out a bit.

Wow, thanks for the quick response.

My VZW Order Status reads

We received your order and it is in process.
Expected Ship Date: 10/14/2011


since 10/7, that is standard at this point on the 11th, correct, or should it be further by now?

Even if it did ship yesterday say, Apple has arrangements with the shippers to actually delay delivery until the 14th. Granted some may slip through the cracks but it's unlikely.

Once you get a shipping confirmation with tracking number, you'll also see the charge posted to your credit card - and what you're seeing is not unusual.

My question is how will the phone arrive on Fri via UPS if there is no tracking # yet. If it does not ship by the end of the day then I figure it will not be here by Fri.

Overnight delivery, two day delivery, depends. I only order from Apple and if the date says delivery by the 14th, it will be there. I can't speak for Sprint or Verizon though.

Ordered a white 64gb 4s from Verizon on 10/8 at around 10:30am. My checking account was charged at 10:20am today. Order status on Verizon says "Your pre-order will deliver by 10/21/2011" in the tracking # status section.

So I just got home from school, checked to see the money was taken out of my bank account and the order status reads will be delivered by 10/14! (No Tracking # yet though).

My thread has worked in mysterious ways :) .

Alot of pre-orders are shipping between the 14th and 21st. Sadly. I think there are gonna be some unhappy guys who pre-ordered not receiving phones on the 14th.

I called Verizon myself and they said no phones will be shipped until the 14th. As in, not leaving their warehouse until the 14. Anyone else feel as though they were wronged by this? They did originally say pre-orders would be shipped to be DELIVERED on the 14th, right? (Provided you ordered early enough, of course)

Clearly, if they were not going to ship them until the 14, no one would be receiving them ON the 14, and therefore, they should have stated this. Not sent out emails saying "Will be shipped to ARRIVE on 10/14/2011."

I ordered with VZW and they updated my status today saying order will be delivered by 14 OCT. No tracking number yet.

I ordered from Apple.CA and the American express hasn't been charged yet, but available funds has dropped the $700.

Personally, Im not expecting the phone to arrive(In Edmonton, AB) until around late next week. Say 19th.

that's cuz it was just authorized for the amount, they won't post it to the account until the get a merchant slip from Apple, nobody would allow preorders to go through if the cards were declining a pre-authoriation, that'd be crazy
