Free laptop for me?

[SLCentral]

Bought a Lenovo on the 23rd, and it shipped on the 3rd. Today it cleared customs in Kentucky, and is on the way to me, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. My credit card (AMEX) hasn't been charged or seen any activity from Lenovo. Free laptop for me?

I'm guessing... no. There has been other posts about late charges on CCs and they almost always go through. System is either behind or Lenovo purposefully holds payment until you get your PC which is nice of them.

Lenovo Forgets To Charge Customers, Then Sends Them To Collection Agency

Bart wrote to us about a strange experience he had after purchasing a new Thinkpad from Lenovo. He had a perfectly smooth transaction, until months later when he received a letter from a collection agency. The agency was demanding payment for the laptop he had already paid for. Or so he thought.
