Hi all sifus here.
Got some questions here.

If I want to pre-book an iPhone 4 from UK Apple Store, from what I read in FAQ, the UK Apple Store accept any major credit card, even the credit card is issued outside UK.

I got my cousin in Cardiff. So the shipping address will be his address. But my billing address is according to my credit card billing address, which is right here in Malaysia.
Is there will be any problem for my pre-book to be process?
Is anyone here tried this before?

AFAIK, you cannot use another country's credit card.

even if it gets approved the first round, but once the system detects that it is not a UK bound card, your order will be cancelled immediately.

the same policy is applicable to the australian apple store as well.

you can try your luck, but your effort may be futile.

But when I read here, it says that UK Apple Store accept most of all inside and outside credit card.

But anyway, thanks for your info.

Did anyone ever order iPhone 4 through UK Apple Store?
How long does it take for them to give the confirmation email.

Just want to share something.
I sent an email regarding using outside credit card on UK Apple Store to contactus.uk@euro.apple.com:

My question:
Hi,

My name is xxxxxxx, Apple ID xxxxxxxx and I'm one of your
customer that would like to purchase an iPhone 4 from UK Online Apple Store.
I would like to use my Malaysia issued Visa credit card as my payment
method. Does UK Online Store accept it? I also know that billing and
shipping must be the same as credit card billing address. As stated at
http://store.apple.com/uk/help/payments/ca...co=MTM3NDg3MTk*, to my
understandings, UK Apple Store will accept any major credit card, even
issued outside UK, provided additional information. Can I know what
additional information that you need?

Thank you.
__________________________________________________________________________________

Answer from Apple UK:
Thank you for contacting the Apple Online Store.

We apologise for the inconvenience. While the Apple Online Store does allow for a billing address outside of the UK, it is restricted to the 15 countries found on the following website: http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/campaigns...mco=MTM3NDY2NjE

Kind Regards,

Jess W-
Apple Operations Europe
Directors: Cathy Kearney (Irish), Gary Wipfler, Peter Oppenheimer & Timothy Cook (United States of America)

__________________________________________________________________________________
I ask again:
So if I put UK shipping address and pay with my Malaysia issued credit card, would that cause any trouble?

They answer:
We require that your billing address match what is on file with your bank for the associated credit card.

My ip4 is arriving today (20th July) at my cousin's house in Cardiff and Im kinda worried to ask her to post back to Malaysia because of the tax and custom thingy.

From what ive read around it will cost me around 300++ just to get pass custom check. Any other way around, except sending it to Singapore? Because I dont have any relative in Singapore..
