I went and looked at my bank account and where AT&T had the hold on the ~$317 for my preordered Note, is now gone, the money was not taken out of my account and now on the ledger it is no longer showing the pending hold for that amount, is anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: however whenever i go to AT&T to look at order progress, it still says
in progress pending shipment
I noticed same thing as you and I called castomer service they told me they are going to charge when it ships. I don't know?

mines the same too...still in progress while thers no hold ne more...cant wait for 17th to arrive!!!
I know it is exciting, but I would suggest to not watch this stuff too much. AT&T will not charge until after the phone is shipped. We will mostly all have ours sent overnight on Thursday and have them on Friday.
In the case of the iPhone 4s, they didn't charge the full amount to my credit card until 3 weeks after I got the phone! But the initial credit check charge did disappear after a few days (as I think all it is all they are allowed for a credit hold).
Hold is always temporay (3 to 5 days at most). It doesn't mean anything.

Mine did the same. I think it was Wednesday when it disappeared. For a minute there I thought the additional funding in my account was from my State tax return I was expecting but after looking through my transaction activity I saw that the hold from AT&T was released. From what I've read in other postings throughout this forum it isn't uncommon for holds to be released and then charged again when the device is finally shipped. I'm guessing it all depends on how long the order is on hold for, in our case almost 2 weeks from initial offering.
I did receive an email from AT&T Premier last night confirming my order and stating that the device is still scheduled to be delivered as early as Feb 17th.
This is going to be the longest week ever!

Banks can only hold funds for 3-5 days, it was just held to confirm you had the funds and that the card was valid. The phone won't be actually charged until it ships from the warehouse in which case the funds will then be finalized and removed from your account.
You should be good.
Side note: This is an issue for some people, especially people who carry low available balances in their account, because the funds were released and then they spent the money somewhere else, then when at&t goes to ship the phone the card gets declined from the bank due to insufficient funds. Then their order gets cancelled.
The hold is still on my card.

I would assume they've been told how many they're getting and are charging your card in preparation to ship... So if by the end of the day tomorrow you don't have a tracking number, I'd say it is time to open a real complaint.
I have my pre-order at handtec, so I'm in a similar boat of waiting, but they charged me right off the bat. Hope you get yours shipped tomorrow. I think I got mine in way too late to get in the next shipment...

Hey I also tried buying the SGSII from clove and I'm in sort of a similar situation. After I found out that the stock would be delayed, I decided to cancel my order to get a refund since they had debited the money from my account on the day I made the transaction. Turns out they don't have my money. Apparently the bank holds the money when the transaction is made till the company(clove) actually takes the money. After a certain period of time has passed by(depends on the bank) and the money hasn't been claimed by the vendor, the money is returned by the bank to the account. I verified this by calling clove customer service. It's been 14days and the money hasn't been returned to my account. I suggest you call clove to make sure and call your bank to check whether your clove transaction is in its 'pre-authorization' phase. Hope that clears things up.

They put a hold on mine. I'm not sure if they actually charge, but it's the same thing.
They can't charge until they ship. A hold is not exactly the same thing as a charge; cardholders are not liable for authorization holds, only charges (your credit card company does not bill you for authorization holds). The hold simply gives the merchant the authorization to charge on the ship date. That said, to the consumer a hold may appear to be similar to a charge because the hold counts toward the credit limit.
Hmmm, I don't have a hold on there either... but I have a confirmation email..
On second look, there's an authorization for $1.00 on there, but not for the full amount. Is that what I should see?
It's common to authorize a dollar just to check AVS and CSC, etc. I would actually be surprised if they did an auth hold for the full amount for 2 weeks, though that may depend on state laws and possibly your status as a customer, type of account, etc. I haven't bothered to check mine....just want the device already. The preorder page explains that they won't charge until shipment.
they got a hold on mine but not exactly the amount shows on the comfirmation page. anyways can't wait to get my hands on the phone. guess my 9100 will be resting for a while.
yes they have my money.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I just checked mine and there are two pending auths, one for a dollar and the second for the full amount due at checkout. I don't think pending auth can sit open for weeks so my guess is they are just checking preorders to see which cards are legit so they can contact those whose cards fail. Then they will run the actual charge on 2/16 (or whatever the ship date ends up being).
i dont agree with that.. they have already debited the full amount from my account although its still pending I think past today it will not be pending anymore.
Good to see that the charges are common to everyone... i was going to call and have a screaming match with them this morning... any ways... got 2 of these on preorder... anyone else get the $100 off?

This is what happened to me when I pre-ordered the iPhone 4, it put the money on hold (which took it out of my "available" amount) and when the transaction expired the money was taken off hold and stayed in my account until the phone shipped.
Also, I used debit. Same thing happened to me now when I pre-ordered the Note...
From the AT&T Preorder page:
"Please note, your credit card will be charged at time of shipment. If using either a credit or debit card, funds in the amount of this purchase will be immediately held and not available for other use. Credit and debit card transactions will not appear in your account until time of shipment."
It stands to reason the amount will be deducted from your available credit, since you agreed to pay on Feb. 16. They don't want you running up your credit limit on the 15th so your charge for the Note is declined on the day of shipment. But there is a difference between having the funds deducted from your available credit and being liable for payment (i.e., the moment the Note shows up on your credit card bill). Same should be true for debit cards. The amount should be on hold, but still in your account. You can't use that money to go buy something else since you've made a commitment to buy the Note, but AT&T won't make the charge until they ship.
ok very interesting.. either way not a big deal to me...

Hmmm. My concern is that something is wrong with the order since they only did the authorization for $1, rather than the full amount.
UNSOLVED MYSTERIES UPDATE: They finally put the hold on my card for the full purchase amount, a day after the preorder.

Just so you guys know. There is a chance that if you use a debit card, your bank could deem the purchase fraudulent and could cancel the transaction.
I rarely see it happen, just saying it can.
Mine stayed on hold for 4 days and then the funds released and the transaction tion just went away. The bank didn't cancel is due to fraudulent because they have done this in the past and have always called me before they did this. So I do not think this was the case this time. Kind of weird as I never had a transaction too. Like this before...

Don't get your hopes up guys. You will get charged for it eventually.
Mine was charged FAST. AT&T is usually quick to withdraw money from my account. Then again, it could be the possibility that it's up to the bank or AT&T still getting authorization through the bank to withdraw. Some bank are slow.
No charge, not even a hold showing on my "available balance". Which is odd, usually those holds go through right away.
hey, this is what's happening with mine. week ago, i've placed an online order through attwireless which cost me 300 plus tax. but right after i've submitted my order, I somehow ended up on the bestbuy websites promoting their $50 giftcard with its upgrade plan. so i've decided to call them to cancel my order within 24 hours. when i got a chance to talk to the lady i was surprised because she couldn't cancel my order since it's in the "process" and she just told me to send the phone right away when i receive it. this order was done in last tuesday, Feb 8th and it's hilarious that i couldn't get it to cancel the shipment the day after, because it was too late. So what the heck, i just went to the BBM and preordered mine.
right now, i have a galaxy note package right on my desk sent by at&t but when i see my bank account, i do not see anything debitted by at&t yet. i've been talking to 4 diff. reps and they all say they charge your account right away at the checkout page. only exception was the iphone, she says, which had taken extra 7days to charge the customers.
but my question is will i be able to sign a contract on sunday when i go pick up my galaxy note with BBM even i have the actual note in my position from att?
will their system block me from getting another one? if that's the case, i guess i have to send it back before sunday so i don't have any trouble receiving mine at BBT.
since, att has 30 days return policy, i was maybe thinking about keeping it til i see the "-317.99" on the bank statement.
what do you think guys? should i take the risk?
My note was one of the few shipped by USPS, it was processed thursday and finally out for delivery today. However, my account still hasn't been charged for it, anyone else experiencing this? Am I getting a free Note?
Just wait 1-2 weeks for AT&T to clear and so does your bank to process. I was charged the moment I put an order online.
Yeah, I would definitely make sure your account has enough money in it if it's a checking account. I've been screwed over by a gas station before because they withheld charging my account until the end of the month and dropped it on my right before I had my next deposit. Wouldn't want that to happen with a 300 dollar purchase to say the least. haha.

Yes I'm aware but as AT&T said themselves, as soon as the phone has shipped the account should have been charged, my account has done no such thing.
I'm in the same boat as you. It was clearly stated when I preordered the phone(in-store) and in the conformation email that my account would be charged when the phone was shipped. It was shipped on Thursday the 16th and I haven't been charged yet. However, I'm not complaining.
They'll catch up to you in a week or so, they always do.
Free notes for EVARYONE!!!
Firstly I'd just like to state I'm not trying to gain sympathy or anything of the sort, just sharing an experience and to gain feedback on what you would do in my position (I appreciate this post may be long so appreciate the patience).
Just like many of you I sat at home and eagerly awaited the launch, as soon as it happened, I tried a million times, like yourselves to get it into the basket and checkout to no avail. Then with some twist of fate I managed to cart it and inputted my details and sent off the payment. The order went through but then said that my bank had declined the payment. Called the bank, thought it was fraudulent, they cleared it within minutes if not seconds, in the Google wallet transaction screen it said I had 7 days to update otherwise my order would be cancelled so I thought I was safe.
I received 2 emails, instantaneously of one another, one stating "You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has been shipped." The other stating "Your purchase from Google Play has been cancelled. Any charges made will be refunded."
I repeat these emails were sent at the EXACT same time. So I called up Google to be on the safe side after updating my card details and this is where it starts to get fuzzy. They stated that the order had been cancelled and there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to a manager after taking down the persons name (who in fairness was trying to be helpful), so I spoke to his manager "Deon", Deon proceeded to tell me the exact same, that there was nothing they could do other than recommend placing another order for one, even though they had all sold out by this time. Deon told me that he would get back to me after he spoke to his supervisor who wasn't at the office for another 5 hours. I agreed to wait for his email, but I asked for his surname because I have no idea how many Deons there are working there...When I asked he stuttered and repeated my question back to me....I confirmed that I wanted his surname to which he said "Ok sir, one moment" and after a few seconds the line went dead.
When I go on to the google system to find out where my order is, it says
"Orders are shipped within two business days of placing your order, and will be delivered upon two additional business days of processing.
According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of 15-11-2012."
Which just adds further to the frustration and confusion. I spoke to another gentlemen on the phone after spending roughly £8.40 in phone calls to them from my mobile phone, who said he'd escalate this matter further.
I noted that Google are regulated by the Financial Services Authority and whether it would be worth going to the Financial Ombudsman, however I'd have to wait 8 weeks for them to attempt to resolve it before i can do that.
Any feedback would be great, and if you made it this far and read it all I greatly appreciate your time. If you just skipped here, the jist of what I'm saying is, google have screwed me royally, what would you do?
I think you just need to wait for Google to get it together in your case. There has been a lot of confusion with order statuses. I guess you will know for sure when Google gets back to you, or when you receive your tablet.
Thanks for your reply drcujo, it is just weird that others had the same problem and didn't have their orders cancelled.
Well if I recieve a tablet tomorrow I'd be extremely surprised considerin I've not recieved any email stating any tracking information or anything remotely of the sort. I can keep my fingers crossed eh?
After about 35 minutes of trying to order my N10 (right when they got released, with a million errors), it finally allowed me to complete the purchase.
I was getting worried because of how long it took to get a confirmation email from Google, but it finally showed up 38 minutes after the purchase. My bank account has already been charged, and a quick phone call with Google (Google Wallet) has assured me that my purchase will not be cancelled and my tablet will ship out Thursday November 15th with 2-day Saturday delivery. I'm not sure who he talked to, but I was on hold for like 2-3 minutes while he looked up the info for me.
I seem to have been one of the lucky ones though, even with all the errors and delays in emails. I have heard MANY complaints of people receiving cancellation emails, or getting errors telling them that they were already sold out.

Hey Harfainx, I live in the UK and it would cost me a fortune (maybe a nexus 10 worth, ha!) just to call them on that number. I called them and they confirmed it was cancelled. I'm extremely disappointed as I needed this for multiple projects at university and had an oppurtunity to duplicate my order but put my faith in google, last mistake I will be making with them. I would hate to have to give my money to apple, I'm anti apple tbh.
Thanks for your reply though!
Hey Araam,
I was one of the lucky ones and my order went through, I ended up with a duplicate order for my n10 and my card was declined like yours. It seems weird that they would cancel your order so quickly though? I didn't realise for at least an hour after I had placed my order and they never cancelled mine.
I was able to cancel the duplicate order this morning though, so I do hope you are successful in getting one, there must be others who were able to cancel theirs too!

Yeh thats what gets me, why did they cancel it so fast :/ I really hope someone has a spare one that I can buy for a not so extortionate price. Its starting to approach a time where I may need to buy an iPad which I'd hate to do.

Hello Araam,
Thanks for your email.
An attempt to charge your credit/debit card for 398.99 GBP failed on 13 Nov 2012 because the bank that issued your card declined the transaction. To ensure the privacy and security of your personal information, banks do not disclose details of credit card declines to third parties, such as Google Wallet. For more information about why your card was declined, we recommend contacting your card-issuing bank representative.
As a result of the failed charge attempt, your Google Order #(number omitted) was cancelled. It isn't possible to reinstate cancelled orders; however, if you'd still like to purchase the items in your cancelled order, you can visit Google Play and re-order after updating your payment information. Steps to update card details are given at https://support.google.com/wallet/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=29072. Note that you must login to your Google Wallet account on a computer using your Google Wallet account login and personal password to edit your card details.
Common tips for troubleshooting payment declines are available at https://support.google.com/wallet/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=43068&topic=8954&ctx=topic
If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.
Thanks,
Stephen

What I don't understand is why they cancelled it so quickly. They don't charge your card until it's shipped, I know they must put some kind of a charge on the card but they don't actually take payment until they send it right?
I reckon after the weekend when everyone who managed to get one, they'll have a better idea of how many they have left in stock so you might be able to grab one then. I have no idea if they're going on ebay yet..
The same thing happened to me the first time I tried to order, card was declined, received automated phone call from bank and then I cleared the transaction. I also received the 2 emails about the 7 days and the cancellation at the same time. I checked Google Wallet which said my order was cancelled and that the money would not be debited, so I placed another order as it was still in stock luckily.
I wish I would have re-ordered when it was still in stock. Such a let down, I can't really describe how annoyed I am with Google right now.
Google Play Store Can Be Horrible
My experience with the Google Play Store had been horrible. I bought a Nexus 7 and they sent me a defective one. The tablet they sent me to exchange the defective unit was also defective, so I requested for a refund. It took 20 calls from me to Google to get my money back about 5 weeks after I shipped them the device back. Yes, 5 weeks. They provide the worse service in the industry. It feels like they have to escalate everything to get anything done and are the best excuse makers. They really need to learn how to run a store.

Thanks for your reply ComputerGeek, its service like that, that makes me feel like that I will need to refer them to the FSA regulators through the financial ombudsman service as their google wallet service is regulated by them. Unfortunately the downfall is that you have to wait 8 weeks in total for them to resolve your problem before you can report the problem.
The 16GB is still showing as in stock here in the US. With the price you were going to pay (399.98 GBP,) it is way more expensive where you are than here. That price comes out to $633.65 USD.
Could you try accessing the US Play store web page and buying it from there and having it ship over the pond to you? Also I'm not sure if there are any differences from the US version to the EU version.
I'm not sure how trusting you are, but if you still can't get your hands on one and would be comfortable with the 16GB one... Maybe we can work something out to where I purchase it and send it your way (it cost me $413 USD to get mine shipped two day shipping to me.) That would only be about 261 GBP, plus whatever the cost is for shipping to you. If you want to PM me your address, I can stop by UPS tomorrow to get an estimate for you (I happen to pass one on the way to work.)
I wouldn't be looking to make money, I would only want to collect the amount that it costs me to buy and ship it. Let me know what you think.

The 16GB is still showing as in stock here in the US. With the price you were going to pay (399.98 GBP,) it is way more expensive where you are than here. That price comes out to $633.65 USD.
Could you try accessing the US Play store web page and buying it from there and having it ship over the pond to you? Also I'm not sure if there are any differences from the US version to the EU version.
I'm not sure how trusting you are, but if you still can't get your hands on one and would be comfortable with the 16GB one... Maybe we can work something out to where I purchase it and send it your way (it cost me $413 USD to get mine shipped two day shipping to me.) That would only be about 261 GBP, plus whatever the cost is for shipping to you. If you want to PM me your address, I can stop by UPS tomorrow to get an estimate for you (I happen to pass one on the way to work.)

Thanks Harfainx, I've tried to get on to the US website and ship it over to no avail. The kindness you show still gives me hope that I may still see a nexus 10 before the year is out. I was hoping to get the 32GB version but beggers cannot be choosers as the saying goes. I have sent you a PM and your assistance is very much appreciated.

Thanks for your reply ComputerGeek, its service like that, that makes me feel like that I will need to refer them to the FSA regulators through the financial ombudsman service as their google wallet service is regulated by them. Unfortunately the downfall is that you have to wait 8 weeks in total for them to resolve your problem before you can report the problem.

Personally I think you are blowing this way out of proportion. After reading threads like these I feel sorry for everyone who works at google.
You are saying you are going to refer google to your financial regulator because your bank declined your credit card purchase? You should call your bank, find out why they thought it was fraudulent, and then re-purchase when you can.
You aren't out any money. The problem is with your bank anyway. There isn't anything google can do. If you really have a bone to pick, call your bank and complain. They will probably give you the reason it was declined.
Looks like you are stuck finding it in a store, buying it off google when it comes back in stock, or finding one somewhere else online. If you want one before the end of the year, I would be very very surprised if the N10 stays out of stock for long. When I tried to buy the N7, it was out of stock shortly after release and I managed to order one within a week of release.
You guys need to relax. This that, I'm going to buy an iPad, this that some more. Really? Is this community filled with impatient internet lawyers?
Mine still says pending but there's a thing called patience. If you've placed an order it will come eventually. If you haven't - wait until it's available to purchase again.
No one could have predicted that THIS many people wanted the Nexus 10. Especially given how little advertisement of it there was. If you've paid for your tablet, it'll get to you eventually. Google can't take your money and not deliver a product. So just be patient...it's only been, what, 36 hours since the launch and people are behaving like it's been 2 months since they've ordered this device and they're being given the runaround; which isn't the case.
Good luck everyone.
If you read my actual post I stated very clearly I spoke to my bank, my bone that you like to talk about is with the fact that the mislead me, the fact that they cancelled my order within minutes not the hours that other people got, the fact that in their guidelines it clearly states not to duplicate orders, and because i followed this it resulted in me not having a tablet.
Sorry you feel I'm being harsh but my bank cleared the mess up in minutes where as Google keep spinning me lies.

I, like you, also made multiple attempts to purchase the Nexus 10 through Google Play the morning of November 13th. Finally, after multiple attempts from my Razr Max, I picked up with my wifes iphone and was able to have order completed. Five minutes prior to attending a funeral, I get a call from an unfamiliar 800 number which I let go to voicemail. With two minutes left, I listen to voicemail...hear the words--your bank...fraud, and I immediately back out of google voice and call the 800 number back. I get a voice prompt stating possible fraud activiity is suspected on my account and to prove otherwise, I will need to verify the last two purchases, one from google and another made the night before. I confirmed the two purchases, hung up, and raced into the chapel to bid my farewells.
Shortly after the service, I cheched my phone and had received confirmation from google wallert that my order had gone through. I've not checked for shipping and am merely holding out for shipping date of Nov 15th. I waited from Nov 2011 to February 2012 to get my TF201...3-4 days for Nexus 10 is a cakewalk.
Google does debit a small amount from all acc****s upon order. I suspect this was attempted on your account, and for what ever reason, your bank would not allow the charge, thus google cancelled the order entirely. I know it sucks and I wish you could enjoy your new pad this weekend, but it's not googles fault that your bank..or even mine for that matter..has its protective policies in place. Google merely answered the market when it couldn't sell to you. It cancelled your order and gave it to someone else.
You will get your 10 someday soon
Sorry you had trouble but stuff happens at times.
The playstore here still have them and the stores will have them soon too.You will have no problem getting one in a few days from somewhere.I don't think there will be a shortage of these available like the N7 was at launch.With it being much more costly they are not going to fly off shelves like the cheaper tabs.
And all of this is going to happen again when they go on sale again
