It's not being charged. Apple is issuing an authorization check.

It's like how you go to hotel, reservation by swiping credit card but no actual charge yet.

When Apple does the credit card charge, it will follow by invoice.
*
Hmm that could be true but I did get an SMS from the bank to say that the amount has been charged. You're right - I haven't received an invoice from Apple though I'm hoping it'll come anytime soon so I don't have to wait anymore!

When did you order bro?

Customised?
*
It took me a few days after the launch to place my order hence a longer wait time, I suppose sad.gif And it's SIS, not bro!

QUOTE(westlife @ Nov 10 2016, 07:54 PM)
I believe for my case the moment I had placed order. The amount has already been charged to my credit card. As I had received the SMS from Citibank on my purchase. When I logged in to check my credit balance. The amount charged was already minused off from my available balance. But the transaction was not shown under the unbilled or pending transaction. It will only be shown when Apple has confirmed the amount when they ship the item.

I'm not sure what it is with mine; it's not in this month's credit card payment so it's fine! Lol...

after some research on the internet, I believe the iWork only comes free if I'm the first to purchase the mac, hence login into the mac would tie the ownership to my apple ID.

a clean format of the mac would not have iWork installed, sigh...
*
The first login would have tied your ownership. So meaning, if you use the same login as you used when you registered the Mac when you first bought it, it should be FOC.

Have to use MacBook coz all my HD were formatted by MacBook Pro, only it could open it sad.gif

Next time you do a format of HDD, make sure it's FAT32 so that it's compatible with Windows too! But what a fantastic and great excuse!

Just a question. If I buy from the apple store, will I be able to get macbook pros with the configuration that I want or those can only be purchased online?
*
Customised configuration only through the online store.

Keep fingers crossed cause maybe, just maybe Apple might deliver earlier. They probably won't change the shipment date because they don't want to over promise - so it's kinda like managing your expectations. I should go check on mine too, I guess biggrin.gif

Hmm... non touch bar wait list is shorter I guess... in anycase, great for those who's gotten theirs.... I haven't had time to even track mine but I think mine is still under "Order In Process"

I ordered the base model of 8GB because friends have told me that I wouldn't notice the difference upgrading to 16GB so I didn't.....

I ordered the 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD and am hoping it delivers before I leave for Christmas holidays!

For me it is haha. I could be pretty happy with 256GB.

That's good cause that means U get to save some $$ biggrin.gif I would have preferred 1TB but it was way too expensive so settle for 512GB... and thankfully the boys told me not to waste $$ upgrading the RAM.

My boys tells me I don't need the additional 8GB and I trust their judgement so I went without the upgrade. Use the $$ for AppleCare better biggrin.gif

What's the point of sending the email?! I also got it .. same shipment date also as yours.. but like I said, what's the point? Maybe too many people are asking where their computers are?

I think it's just a courtesy gesture informing customer of the earlier receiving date. As long as it's not postpone date, It's a good news afterall.

It's not an earlier date for me.. in fact, it's been delayed by 2 days!
