Macbook order still processing

I placed my order of a 13 inch pro MacBook on 25 October , its been 9 days and my status is still processing. Although the delivery date is between 17 November - 24 November i am worried because because apple hasn't charged me ? is it common for apple not deduct money until the product is shipped ? could it be because i used my debit card from another country ?

These computers are in very high demand, and each is custom built to your specifications. They are NOT pulled from a warehouse.


Credit cards generally get a credit hold to ensure your account can cover the charges. Your card is charged when your order ships.


Your order will stay at processing until your computer is sent to shipping. It will be combined onto a pallet-load for your county. These pallets are air shipped to the nearest port of entry, and once they clear customs, will be delivered by expedited local delivery in a few days.

This is all normal and what you would expect.


Your card will not be charged until it moves from processing to shipping— after shipping you can expect your Mac within 24-48 hours.


You can fully expect your Mac 17 November - 24 November.
