I thought CC merchant agreements prohibit charging a customer before the item is scheduled to ship.

This was always my impression as well but that was from an e-commerce class I took in College back in 2006. I have already been charged by them for the .32 i ordered and I have no shipping information. Two weeks and counting.

I found my own answer:

It is technically legal, but it isn't good business!! Most companies only charge when they ship. It is against VISA and MasterCard's regulations for a merchant to bill their cards prior to shipping.

Contrary to what some sources indicate, the Fair Credit Billing Act does not address if it is legal for a company to charge you before shipping the product. Instead, it makes it illegal to not ship within advertised time period (or 30 days if no expected shipping date is mentioned in the agreement). If a merchant says "this item takes 90 days to ship", then they may bill right away and not have a legal problem if they ship before the 90 day window.

Wow...I saw some good feedback on other forums but didn't see this. Good thing it's a small order and I ordered more ammo from a place with a bit better reputation. Is it just me or is customer service an issue across the industry?

I'm glad I started with a small order too. If things go well I might try a larger order. They had a good price on Gold Dots for my .32 so I gave it shot anyways.
