For a while, I have had an order at buy.com, with about 5 or 6 DVDs. 5 of the 6 DVDs have already shipped and arrived, with only one remaining(Dogma). The problem is that there is no link in the upper left corner that says "Detailed Billing Summary" so I can't tell how much I was charged in order to record it, as if I haven't been charged yet. I used credit card, so it should be there. What do you guys think I should do? Just ignore it, hoping I don't get charged? Check to see if they bill once, when the order is complete? Contact them?

They'll bill for each disc they ship so you should have been billed for the 5 that were shipped already. Coupons are deducted right away so you may not even get charged for the first disc that ships.

Yeah, I know. For all my previous orders I was billed for each disc. I had a $20 off coupon so I most likey wouldn't have been billed for that disc. I wonder whats going on here. The orders I made after this one billed me individually also, so it was just this once.

I have an order which is complete now and when I received my credit card statement...no charges were on there from this order which should have been!!!! If they do not bill me, that is their problem!!!

This order also does not show a detailed billing summary link.....

They seem to be billing late on some of my orders. The charge for a disk that was shipped in early December showed up on my CC statement in mid January, so you still may get charge.

My past statements from Buy.com show orders with coupons having the value of the coupon spread across all of the disk, not just taken off the top. I would bet that the system is waiting for your order to complete in order to apply the discount properly. If your pre-order was only a few weeks away, I would be they would wait and bill it all at once, but with the indefinite status of Dogma I am sure they will catch up with you within a reasonable amount of time, and bill you for what has been shipped.

Don't get too excited. Years ago buy.com got a lot of grief for billing at the time of ordering. They now tend to error on the side of billing after (sometimes MUCH after) the item ships. This has happened to me several time, and they have always eventually charged my CC....
