Hmmm I have an even bigger question then the others I have asked.

So I had bought a poster pack and a t-shirt on the 30th and later that day was able to get a bag. So from then till today the money was pending in my account and on Amazon it said shipping soon.

Now comes the concern. Today i checked my bank account and it doesn't have the poster pack/tshirt order or the bag order pending in my account and the money is NOT taken out of my account yet either. On amazon, they are still in my orders list as "Shipping soon"

Any reason why that might be? Seems a little weird to me.. or maybe the whole status of everything is going on its merry way? or something bad happened and they hate my bank?

I would greatly appreciate any help. I don't order stuff online all too often. I have in the past, but nothing ever strange like this has happened...

For me, my orders were pending for about a week, then the pending orders disappeared from my account, then a day later they took the money.

Maybe pending transactions only stay there for a week?

This sounds very similar to me as well. I ordered the "Spartan Armory" poster on June 28th, a Bag of Swag on June 30th and just today, a Burn Bright, Burn Blue T-shirt. All say "Shipping soon" and no money has been withdrawn from my account. I'm not exactly sure what the holdup is, but I'm an international customer, so that might be the problem in my case. I think the trick here is to be patient.

Bungie is no doubt moving a large amount of goods here at the moment, and since they definitely don't have the resources that Amazon does (They only display their goods on Amazon, they are responsible for shipping themselves), even a small backlog can cause major delays.

Don't worry, look at my Banking account transaction page: http://i.imgur.com/KFzox.jpg

All of those items were purchased on the 23rd, but I didn't get charged until a lot later.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

If you can't trust yourself, then don't trust anyone.

My money was taken out of my bank account around 20 minutes after i made my gorilla bag purchase. and then today i find out they gave my money back and i couldn't find my transaction on my account, but it still says shipping soon on amazon. Im just hoping they didn't cancel my order.

Yeah, I don't mind the delay really. It's not like we want them pulling the dev team away from their next project to take our crap to the post office.

When you first order something Amazon makes a pending charge to verify you have the money in your account, they then cancel the charge and withdraw the money only after the item has been shipped.

Just checked my account, I've had money added onto my available balance, looks like it has been returned. Only for the swag bag order (can tell by the amount), not for the poster which was purchased on the same day (30th)

And yes, no transaction listed on the statement.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

So I asked the mailman who covers my work about my delivery, and he actually checked the truck to see if there was anything in there since he was covering where I live. He didn't find anything, but he said that anything that comes in to the local post offices always goes out that day, so it'll either come in this week or it hasn't even reached my state yet.

Hmm, so as has been said, Amazon do a preliminary charge to ensure there are funds, before returning it until the item is shipped?
