Ordering 30 days or more before shipment
If you paid with a credit card an order 30 days or more before shipment (e.g. if it is a pre-order), there are some things to consider.
Check with your payment card terms, in how much advance can you authorize a payment.
Usually banks only allow the authorization to be valid for 30 days, after which the authorization is voided unless the order is shipped within the authorization period. To prolong the authorization period, the payment has to be validated/updated every 30 days
If you have paid with any non direct payment transfer option, e.g. credit card
- Remember to update the payment (latest) every 30 days
- Last update being done minimum 30 days before release
- Otherwise the payment will be invalidated by your bank
Please check your payment card terms for possible payment reservations when shopping online.
