Other Apple Watch received but no deduction?

[AcFantasy]

i received my iWatch today. But they never deduct the amount from my bank and I can see that they release back the holding amount to my bank.

Do any 1 having this issue?

It might take a day or two.

Same thing with me. Pre ordered and selected in store pick up. Picked up both my phone and watch yesterday.

The hold/pending charge is now gone and funds back into my account. I assume they will be pulled back out on Monday?

Yes they will and because they pre-authersided don’t spend that money or you’ll go into the red once they take it.

Pre-authorisation means it’s autherised and they will take it.

Pre-authorisation comes with a window, doesn’t it? The retailer gets X number of days to collect the pending (pre-authorised) funds. If they don’t collect it in time and the funds get put back into the account, how does the previous (now historical) pending window authorise any future charge?

Moreover, what’s to stop anyone this happens to from simply moving those returned funds from the account in question so Apple couldn’t take it even if they wanted to?

Feel like I’m missing something obvious here, but missing the pending payment window is a risky move for any retailer.
