Hello, I am located in Kazakhstan. I would like to place an iPhone pre-order and pay with a Kazakhstani bank card. I plan to ship the order to an address in Delaware, and then have it forwarded to me in Kazakhstan. Is this possible?

No. Apple won't ship outside of the store's region site you are purchasing from or to a known freight carrier, and your payment method can also be denied. Also Kazakhstan recently implemented a set of restrictions for confirming the origin of a device, in which they can deny you cellular service. Also iPhones intended for sale in the US are eSIM only meaning you would have to find a carrier that supports that there, because iPhones originally sold in Kazakhstan have a physical SIM slot. Lastly you won't have any warranty support as that is typically based on the region of purchase.
