If you want to take it at face value, they're saying you'll get one when they get enough but they might not be able to fulfill all orders on release date.

That's at best. At worst, they'll never be able fulfill it and already know it. The way it's written is semantics. You'll get it, when it comes in. It might never come lol

Man if TC doesn't get the order, it'll be like airlines overbooking airline seats

Real money down the shitter, will get credited Amazon dollars as compensation

Hell this is WORSE than airlines overbooking because even if you get bumped to the next flight, you still at least get a flight, whereas TC might not even get a switch

It's actual NOTHING like that at all. Amazon doesn't charge your card till it ships. @Duncanwii has paid nothing. So you literally could not be more wrong.

hopefully the TC doesn't give up. pretty sure he will receive it whenever the 2nd shipment arrives to the amazon warehouse. unless he is really high up on the queue.

i had to wait on a lego jurassic world game but they didn't have any in stock for several days.

Dude, it's Amazon customer service. They give out cards like they're afraid of keeping them.

I could probably get a $5 one without even buying anything if I complained hard enough.

I bought a pocket knife for 20 bucks, they sent me the wrong color. Didn't even ask for a pic or anything and got credited 20 bucks. Shits crazy

Preathorization happens once the label is created, which was probably the night before. That's a preauthorization, not a charge. The charge posts in 3-5 days when Amazon clears it.

With a credit card, only your credit limit decreases till it posts. With a debit card, funds are removed immediately. At places like Best Buy, they do a preauthorization at order placement. Same thing happens and then in 3-5 days, those funds are released.

Amazon also does do preauthorizations right at order placement now with some really limited or big ticket items.
