I was wondering - does your card get billed when you order, when they send or when you receive?
Thx

When do you get billed when ordering from IBM?
Re: When do you get billed when ordering from IBM?
When they ship the order, but they may "pre-authorize" before then.dikrek wrote:I was wondering - does your card get billed when you order, when they send or when you receive?

I believe that credit card companies allow merchants to bill customers only after the product ships. However, the merchant may 'pre-authorize' (basically let the credit card company know that you put an order for a product selling for x amount of money).
