Adam Lambert 24/7 News

another cute one from @CreativeSharka

CreativeSharka does good as always. ^_^

Just for fun, I got in on the 30% off Adam merchandise sale and ordered the nail polish. One each color. ^_^

Interesting situation with Adam's calendar, evidently to be coming out of England.

I ordered the calendar on 10/28, and charged it to my Visa card...and received confirmation in an email on 10/29 of my order, and was told.... "this is a preorder item and will ship in early December 2020".

So far, so good...until I recently received my Visa bill. The charge for the calendar is already on the bill as having been made on 10/28. My understanding on pre-orders is that a charge is not even made on a credit card UNTIL the pre-purchased item is actually shipped.

To date, I've received no follow-up information as to the status of my order. So...while it's been paid for, it hasn't been shipped yet. That seems highly irregular!

Has anyone else encountered this situation?

@Nanbert
I just checked my CC statement and although I ordered later than you did, my CC has been charged. To be honest, I don't think it's a problem that it (the Adam Lambert Calendar from Wonderful Union ie Adam Lambert Store ie Adam's online store) has already been charged.

I would prefer it to be charged right away, as opposed to what happened to a good percentage of people (including myself) who jumped in right away for the Queen + Adam Lambert "Live Around The World" CD/DVD/BluRay/Vinyl etc..when the banks only allowed a standard 30 day authorization charge hold, and if it went beyond the 30 days on the authorization (but not charged yet), our orders were cancelled due to the payment authorization being withdrawn by the bank.

It wasn't a huge issue for me as I just reordered the product, as it was still available, but for some fans, it was a disappointment or worse because the products they ordered were sold out, even though they had ordered right away. From order date to charge/shipping date was in those cases longer than 30 days.. In my case it was literally 31, but my CC company just cancelled. I appreciate that they were on top of things but at the same time, not everyone was so happy. So my point is, it's okay in my mind that the order was charged right away. Because that would help to prevent your order from being cancelled perhaps.

Hope this helps..

I think it’s normal to be charged straight away for a preorder I’ve already been charged and don’r think there will be a problem, if I remember right it was the same for his last calendar.

Just here testing my computer. Had it into the shop yesterday.

Thanks glitzylady. I DO still expect to get my calendar...just thought it it was a bit unusual, and thought I'd see if anyone else had the same experience. It's just that I've made other pre-orders from time to time, and they were never charged until actually shipped. Of course, those all originated inside the U.S....if that makes any difference.

And, yes, I had that same problem as you, and others, about the pre-order situation on "Live Around The World" and had to acknowledge again to my Visa that it was indeed my order. Of course, one DOES want the credit card company to be careful with your account in situations like that, so I can't complain, I guess.

Just so I get that calendar by Xmas....my present TO ME! Fingers crossed!

I guess a bunch of us had that Credit Card problem. Yes, it's good to know they are on the ball noticing fraud, but still, it can sure mess up a legitimate charge.

Oliver is a cutey and seems like a nice guy. We'll see where this all goes!

My newly cleaned out computer seems to be behaving so far. Had to re-enter passwords, etc. I need it for my on-line shopping!

Dee R Gee....it works....at least on THIS side! heh heh

My sympathy Dee. I accidentally cleared all my cookies about a month ago and had to re-enter all that stuff. Ugh! I like cookies.

Speaking of on line shopping, after I ordered the Adam nail polish I went to am azon and looked for polish remover. Surprised they actually ship something that small and cheap in a couple days to my doorstep. I digress. I didn't order but now I have them following me all over the internet trying to sell me green and/or purple nail polish. Scary. Why just green and purple???
