thanks regardless!
What about if I suggest you to read THIS thread and find your answer? Although your question is not asked frequently, it has been asked and answered many times still, while the last time was not too long ago. Why doubt the answer of a helpful FTer?
As a fairly old timer with the shinny little coins, I will say what you see IS typical and happens from time to time especially given the shipping delay we are encountering. As long as your order is still in process, you are fine even though the credit card authorization drops. Once the order ships, the credit card charge would just show up.
FYI, I have an order from 1/22 and is still in process, too.
