Hmmm, pretty much everything I order is charged to my CC before shipping. Do you live in Nigeria by chance?

Sometimes Companies/Mfg's will "pool" orders prior to Shipping/Mfg to control inventory costs. This is nothing new, nor is it frowned upon, nor is it illegal.

If it gets me what I want in the expected time frame who cares? Capitalism works.

 

Not sure where you are buying things from, but almost everything I buy is not charged until it is shipped.

I am in the accounting/finance field, and am not sure what you are referring to "pooled orders". The A/R (accounts receivable) for the orders would control inventory if they debited accounts upon shipment....

 

Yeah most things don't get charged until they ship.

I just ordered my computer parts and they were only charged after shipment. Bad business practice to charge you for non delivered goods.

regardless I think DDM makes a solid product, even if their business practices are not A+.

 

Check with your CC company and see if they have a policy regarding when a merchant can charge you. They don't know it is happening if you don't report it.

 

As I already stated, it is not against the law but it IS a bad business practice. Some CC companies have policies that forbid it.

You can continue to accept this as a normal business practice with whatever shady companies you buy from or you can speak up and alert your CC company that it is happening. It's your money.

 

Says kits will start shipping? March 1. Hoping it is for orders made last week. Lol didn't notice the out of stock when I ordered.

 

Tryin to decide which to get when the website says availible, 35w 8ks or 55w 10ks

 

10K is awfully blue...

gint: Where did you see when they were shipping out?

 

3-1, so tuesday

 

55w will wash out the color some.
