Pre-Order
What is a pre-order?
Pre-ordering allows you to secure a product that has yet to be formally released for public sale. Your order will be dispatched at the point the product is released for public sale. In the meantime we hold a charge on your payment card and take the funds at the point the product is dispatched as opposed to when you make the order.
When will I be charged for a pre-order?
No funds will be taken from your account until the pre-order begins processing for delivery. This could be anytime up to 5 working days before the product release date.
How is payment for my pre-order held?
When making a pre-order on the site a hold authorisation will be placed on your payment card to pre-authorise the value of your transaction for up to 28 days. Once your pre-order is ready to be processed for dispatch, your card will be charged the full amount of the pre-order, and the hold authorisation will be removed.
Will I be notified before payment is taken?
Upon placing your pre-order you will receive a pre-order confirmation email. You will receive a further notification up to 7 days before the products release date to notify you of it's imminent release and charging of your card.
What happens if the price of the item increases before release?
Pre-orders will secure the product at the price applicable at the time of order, if the price increased between the pre-order being placed and the product release date you will be charged the lower amount. You will never be charged more than the amount advertised at the time of placing your pre-order. When will my product arrive?
Upon dispatch your pre-order product will follow our standard delivery timelines for your delivery location.
Can I cancel a placed pre-order?
Up until the point of processing your order and taking funds, we may be able to cancel your pre-order. Please get in touch with our Customer Service team for assistance.
