My credit card statement shows two transactions for my online order. Have I been charged twice?
No, it is very unlikely that you have been charged twice. When you place an order with us online, your bank may put a hold on the funds for us so that we can charge your card when we know we have the goods you have ordered. This hold removes the amount from your available funds for a period of 4-5 days and is then released back into your accounts' available funds. We will only charge your card when we are ready to ship your goods to you. Once we have done so, a second transaction may appear on your statement. If you have any concerns about this or an amount we have charged you, please contact us on 0508 400 500.
