How long does Approval take?

[DrInterpreter]

I have a Galaxy A53 5G on order and the order seems to be stuck on "Waiting on Approval" for four days, despite the money having already left my account. Could someone give me an estimate of how long this will take as I deliberately timed it to coincide with the dates of my current contract?Delivery, Approval, A Series

What even is the "Approval" process anyway, since credit checks can come in in minutes nowadays?

You should of gone into an Argos store and bought the phone from there. That's if you've paid for the phone outright!
