When an order is placed online, a pre-authorization appears in your transaction list. It is important to note that a pre-authorization charge is not the final payment, but rather a temporary hold on your payment card. Once your order is shipped, the pre-authorization hold is released, and the actual charge is processed.
Your order may be shipped in multiple packages. In that case, multiple charges corresponding to each packages appear on your account. The amount of each charge will add up to the total amount displayed on your order confirmation.
We are unable to charge more than the pre-authorized amount. Pre-authorizations usually take 5-7 business days to disappear. However, if you have questions about how long it will take for it to expire, we recommend contacting your financial institution.
