When will my credit card be charged?

Booksamillion.com will charge when the order ships. When you go through the checkout process, we do have a final step that "pre-authorizes" the charge to your credit card. If this pre-authorization fails when you attempt to submit your order, you will get a billing error message that will prompt you to recheck your billing and credit card number information or enter an alternate credit card before you can actually submit the order.
