Sadly becoming more the norm but saves me money as I just don’t buy
Personally, I do not believe it at all. They clearly said they put this in place to "improve our experience". Amazon France also charged some buyers on pre-orders. I think they changed their minds.Amazon taking payment on pre orders was a website glitch
Amazon are now in process of fixing the issue
Some customers who had payment taken on some pre orders recently will receive an email today telling them this was an error
New pre orders done as of now payment will be only taken when ready for dispatch (as long as the glitch has been fixed )
This is a copy of email sent to some customers this morning which has been posted on various web forums
We are contacting you about a recent error on your account relating to your Amazon order #204-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX. Your payment card was charged before your pre-order item was dispatched.
If you wish to pay only at the time of dispatch, you may cancel your pre-order to get a full refund. If you place a new pre-order for the same item we will only charge you once your item dispatches. If you take no action, then your item will be dispatched as normal.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

Personally, I think when they have said number of repeat buyers drop from their lists they got worried so they reverted back to how it was.Yes that's what I think also. They put it in print. Customer Service said this is how it is. Now it's a glitch.
Am gutted but trying to look on the positive side....need to trim my collection as am running out of space anyway.Same here, which probably isn't a bad thing, as the wife will be happy I'm not filling the house with steelbooks
Phew! That's good to know. Or maybe they're just using that as an excuse after receiving backlash from everyone.Amazon taking payment on pre orders was a website glitch

This bit really made me LOL for some reasonI assume this is the last one now that Disney own them. It 100% felt it and knowing that fox have sold their bits and bobs to Disney, the whole film felt redundant
If you have prime with amazon UKpre-ordered for now. see is amazons no1 best seller in steels so reckon may sell out quicker than normal.
havent ordered from amazon a while for steels. see now if want it on release day is £2.99 delivery
it always was last time i ordered free, now free delivery is usual 3-5 but does look like amazon have now changed pre-orders for the worse.
amazon is tighting up things by look of it.
looks like another reason to not buy pre-orders from amazon so much.

Shipping is free for over £20
It’s been like that for years. Not sure what you mean about pre orders changing for the worst? It says 3-5 days but usually arrives in a day or 2 (much faster than zavvis free shipping) and im sure amazon deliver on a Sunday (they do around here anyway) that’s pretty f*cking good service. Hassle free for issues too.
Only cockup has been the small amount being charged on pre order. Problem fixed, they have stopped that
well it just asked me for £2.99 IF i wanted it on release day.
which used to be free with pre-orders. e.g. on release day
unless its changed but has been along while since had something from amazon now steelbook wise and maybe im remebering wrong
it did offer me free delivery within 3-5 days otherwise.
and thats what i was getting at e.g. 3-5 days after.
but hey ho
