Ok so i got a good deal on a LCD :) i was happy and probably will be when i get it!

So anyways when i bought it - i went to my bank account to make sure everything went fine.. my account had a HOLD of the amount that i just paid for (you know the bank holds it so it knows what goes where and for how much) well today (couple minutes ago) i noticed my hold for Dell was gone, and my money was all back..

Now i thought "crap - they must have stopped my order, or something was wrong"

so i went there and it said "shipped" and i havent been charged..

so my question is - when do they take the money out?

and i have the tracking as well - but it hasnt been updated yet

Thanks

THey probably released the hold and will probably charge you the next business day (Monday).

hm i thought that too - but usally they do not release it

just like a "its mine and i am not letting go"

also why not take the money out the next business day (that would have been today, i ordered on Thursday)

Don't worry, they're going to take your money. A few places I've ordered things online from have charged(verify the card is good), bank put a hold on that amount, but it wasn't actually charged, money was all there again. Then when the package was confirmed delivered(via signature), money gone.

wow, seems risky for them to do this

and stupid - why wait till it is delivered?

with such a bad resellerrating, why even order from them? Who knows... enjoy your monitor (what did you get?)

Same thing happened to me, but after the monitor went to UPS I got charged. They do this incase someone wishes to cancel their order before it has shipped (or change it), so they don't have to worry about refuding money, hassel etc...
