I'm recently getting back into reloading after a bit of a hiatus. I still have my Dillon 550B (from back in the 1990's) and placed an order for a bunch of gauges (223 and 308), powder scale, replacement parts kit for the 550, and a caliber conversion kit for 9mm. The order went through and I got an email with the total that matched my shopping cart ~$550. I received an update email today that some of my items had shipped, and some were "pending"... so far so good... Much to my surprise, when I logged into my bank account to verify the charges, I have three separate charges totaling more than $830. I immediately called customer service at Dillon and was able to get a support person on the line. He was trying to explain to me how they needed to "pre-authorize" my card... WTF?? I can understand a backorder... then they have my money and I get the item once it becomes available... or I get my money back. None of the other vendors I've worked with recently seem to do this. I asked the guy if I can expect a refund from Dillon, and he assured me I would. So, my next question was "when?"... The excuses and "I wish they wouldn't do it like that" were forthcoming.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing from any reloading supply vendor? I do MidwayUSA a bunch, Champions Choice, Brownell's... I've never been billed for more than the charges invoiced! This seems a bit shady...
