Funds will usually be charged to your card at the time of despatch, however, charges can be taken up to 7 working days before release date.
When you place a pre-order, we may contact your payment card's issuing bank to confirm that the card you have used is valid. We do this by pre-authorising your card.
Please note that this may show up as a pending transaction, which will expire after no longer than 10 working days.
