Why am I charged before my order is delivered?

Unless your order includes a crowdfunded or pre-order product, your form of payment will be charged as soon as you place an order. If you place an order for a pre-order product, your form of payment will be charged once the item is ready for delivery. If you place an order for a crowdfunded product, your form of payment will be authorised and collected once the project backing period has expired and the minimum number of backings is met.
