Developers want to polish their games up as much as possible which is why their releases often get delayed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If your pre-order gets delayed, then you will most likely be charged according to the new release date.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That being said, it\u2019s important to note that some people have reported their cards being charged according to the former release dates of the items they ordered.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, while you\u2019re <strong><em>supposed<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em>to be charged according to the new release date, that doesn\u2019t always happen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re charged according to the former release date, it can be annoying but you\u2019ll receive your item regardless of the new release date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if you\u2019d like to cancel your pre-order due to being charged early, then you can easily do so through your<strong> Orders tab.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you cancel your pre-order, then the money you were charged will be refunded back to you.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_if_the_Price_of_a_Pre-Order_Changes\"><\/span><strong>What Happens if the Price of a Pre-Order Changes?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okay, so we\u2019ve established that your card is charged for a pre-order once the item is released.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let\u2019s look at a scenario for a second:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A game you\u2019re excited about is coming out in two months and it costs <strong>$40 <\/strong>to pre-order it. You pre-order the item and anxiously await its release date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the week leading up to the release date, it\u2019s announced that pre-orders for the game will now cost <strong>$60. <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the question here is \u201cWill you be charged <strong>$60 <\/strong>or <strong>$40<\/strong>?\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, the answer lies in whether or not the game had a <strong>Pre-Order Price Guarantee <\/strong>badge or not. This badge is often provided with most items that are available for pre-order.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It basically means that you are guaranteed the lowest price when you pre-order a specific item.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em>So, if you pre-ordered the item when it cost $40, then you will be charged $40.

Or will it be shipped out to you on your release date?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, it turns out that with release-date delivery, Amazon strives to ensure that the physical product reaches you on its release date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So when you pre-order a physical item and choose <strong>release date delivery, <\/strong>it is shipped out to you a few days prior so that it reaches you on the release date.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><strong><em>Important note: <\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><em><em>This might be a reason why some people report that their cards are charged a few days prior to the release date.

It\u2019s also important to note that <strong>you can\u2019t cancel orders on Amazon once the item is shipped<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if the item is shipped and your card has been charged, you can\u2019t cancel the order anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if the order hasn\u2019t been shipped yet, your card won\u2019t have been charged yet. So, you can cancel the order and avoid any funds being taken out of your account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here\u2019s how to cancel an order on Amazon:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/NI7_xSFbxrvbvnP-V4UxnFQgy4XQ2qN6vrgjE1I3cN8142JUUXzgmyk5Ezh6CvwXXQ9_XXEnska-VkOPZ5RuNN9e8ibCT4z615hPsxkEvIeLna-Yo7uEwm71diomD6yQS5DILQWT\" alt=\"pre order lowest price pre orders item ships pre ordering credit card pre orders amazon charge money ship single order payment checkout item ships charge your card pre\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Log into your Amazon account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/6ElrLIh00AqSs9Y_JiOSZ_m0aO2qXSoEiEpKyNneke0FrKGEbH40WfK6etSPh6S22_kzsPYl1etNnIW1ed4NQiEV9K2ypMjzHo1SGhZe3qpIGLcUXPf7k5-njsGukHfiQL7hsVUK\" alt=\"pre orders purchase account information amazon charge ship payment delivery delivery payment amazon charges delivered price account information credit shipment price\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Click on \u201c<strong>Returns &amp; Orders<\/strong>\u201d in the top-right section of the Amazon home page as shown below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/xqveUJh8DWhFq1twApPBojq2CNpmdNU7xg47jhhwJvQW37yprsyU2VyzD3Wh9ORIvEShZHx01Knno10FucrqDKrKNm5ZH7NW9P3wCTWhukFHYj8nN1PTQG1D63zajCy_9-hyhXXT\" alt=\"purchase amazon charge delivery price amazon charges search customers order enters shipment amazon charge purchase search stock unable address site company deal\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Click on the order you want to cancel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Tick the checkbox next to each item in the order that you want to cancel.

membership, you can reap a ton of benefits on the Amazon platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of these benefits includes extremely fast shipping options, two-day shipping, and even same-day shipping for selected items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you must be wondering when exactly you\u2019re charged for Prime orders and whether you can cancel them to get a refund or not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, the exact same rules apply to Prime orders as the ones that apply to regular orders on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So, your card is charged for a Prime order only when the product is shipped out to you.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, since it\u2019s a Prime order, you\u2019ll receive it at the most within two days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, you have <strong>very little time <\/strong>to cancel the order since it will most likely be shipped out to you very soon after you order it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have a Prime membership and want to cancel an order, you definitely have to be quick about it.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if the product enters the shipping process before you can cancel the order, then you have no choice but to receive the item and then ask for a return.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The return process for Amazon is fairly tedious and it\u2019s definitely something you want to avoid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Options for returning products can be found in <strong>your order history<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the item is shipped out to you by Amazon or a third-party seller, the option to cancel the order disappears.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In this case, you have two options:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You can keep the item since it has already been shipped out to you.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can receive the item and then ask Amazon for a refund.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Please note <\/em><\/strong><em>that if you don\u2019t have a strong enough reason to return the item, Amazon will charge you for the shipping costs involved in returning the item.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon only covers costs of shipping when the reason for returning an item is somehow their fault (for example, shipping the wrong item, shipping is damaged, etc.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you simply want to return the item because you don\u2019t like it or don\u2019t want it anymore, then be prepared to pay the return shipping costs.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Things_Up%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Wrapping Things Up\u2026&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you now have a better understanding of when your debit or credit card will be charged when buying items on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s definitely inconsistent but it\u2019s good to have some idea of when you\u2019ll be charged for different types of orders so you can plan your purchases accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Has your debit or credit card ever been charged at a weird stage in the ordering process on Amazon?
