I don't think that's necessarily true. Shipping depends on at least these factors based on people reporting in this thred and the poll - color, configuration, time of order, types of phones in one order and possibly EIP (still a debated topic). I would say, as long as you got a pending charge of $1.00 when you placed the order, that should be good enough to ensure that card details were correct.
