Hi I purchased goods and paid for them on my card, not realising the card expires before the goods are due to be delivered (in three weeks), I should have activated new card but did not think!! No point ringing as due to covid you get only automated people, any idea what I should do? TIA
Not necessarily. If it's taking 3 weeks because they're waiting for stock, it may be taken on the day of posting. Should be possible to check you account to see if it's gone though. Plus, if they can't get the money, they'll contact you soon enough.
You may be right but I'd be very surprised - who would go through the process of waiting for stock and setting up delivery without making sure they are paid for it first.
Earlier this year I ordered some raised beds for the back garden. I used a card that was within date. By the time the company got around to sending them (covid excuses) it was out of date and I got an e-mail from them.
Ocado take payment 3 days after delivery, which I always thought was odd.
Many companies only take delivery on despatch.
Activate the new card and send the company an email explaining the situation and ask that you be resent the invoice so that you can pay with the new card.
Depends on the company. Some will take payment straight away; others just before the order is despatched. As for Ocado taking payment three days after delivery, I think you will find that is when it comes out of your account. It will be a pending payment.
