PRE-ORDERS

Hi,

I have just pre-ordered a game from a company, not sure I can say where though?

With pre-ordered do companies usually take the money out of your bank straight way or wait until the release date to take the money out?

It all depends who you pre order with. I find Amazon to be the best place to order with as their prices are normally the cheapest and they don't take payment until it's being shipped.

Yeah, Amazon is the one I used.

I just wanted to know so I can keep the extra cash in the bank

What difference does it really make though unless your skint and it would put you into an overdraft?

I use a credit card anyway (which gives me cashback) so i don't really care when they take the money tbh, your going to have to part with it at some point and I've got sometimes up to 60 days before I need to pay it off.

Also how much interest are you going to make off this extra £30 in cash in your bank? It's hardly worth worrying about.

He will have costs and bills to pay, it's not all profit.

Electricity, rent and rates aren't cheap. Especially rates, they can cripple a business. Then there is accountant, stress, insurance, etc, etc the list is huge.

All you do is turn up and work, he has a lot more on his plate at least you know your making money, he may be struggling after all the costs are paid.

FFS Sonny, dont think the OP is looking for an enocomics lesson or overheads incurred by a business.

Or how you pay for everything on credit card, earn points etc. :rolleyes:
