RustyShackelford Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 i know that amazon has the price match thing for pre orders. where if the price drops before it ships, they charge you the lower price instead of the one you saw originally, but how does it work if the price goes up? do you still get to pay the original price you saw or do they charge you for the new price when it ships? EX: the Watain DVD thats up for preorder, i ordered it for $40. which is cheap compared to other places selling it, say in the next 2 months before the release it jumps to $50. do i get charged the original $40 or will i get charged $50?

RustyShackelford Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 maybe they will, its only been about 4 or 5 hours since i ordered it. hopefully itll come out before, i dont want to have to try to remember/guess when exactly this is going to ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appletree Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You should not have to worry about anything. Basically from the time you click pre-order to the time it ships, it will charge your credit it card when it ships. It will charge it the lowest amount the item ever was during that same window from clicking pre-order to shipping to your address. If they do charge you more they often send an email letting you know they refunded you X amount of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do charge you more they often send an email letting you know they refunded you X amount of money. this, though technically the price-match lasts until ~midnight the night of release day (e.g., if you pre-order something that comes out on tuesday, it'll probably ship over the weekend or on monday, but you're covered if the price drops before 11:59 pm tuesday night) as for when you get charged, you might be able to request that they charge you now--that's what you're wanting them to do, right? that way you don't accidentally spend too much around release date and overdraft on your account or something? seems like something amazon would be willing to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yeah that's what I'm wanting. I'll give them an email in a bit. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
