JSngry Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I had that same thing happen to me on a different set. It all worked out, but there was some real frustration in the process involved on my part. Still, they got their money and I go my records, so hey.

That was an issue on the Black & White set as well and I thought I read them indicating they had fixed that potential problem. Guess not. As far as I can tell reading on several boards no one got charged twice for a set or got two sets when re-submitting with credit card info. I have avoided that by paying with PayPal each time. I was assured that last time that if I paid with PayPal I did not need to re-submit. However I honestly think, considering the delay I've experienced in my sets shipping when others who have ordered much later than me have received their sets before I get a shipping notice, that it's possible that they get to the PayPal sets later. . . why not?--they have the money.

Interesting thought, never considered that. Doesn't matter much to me, in the end (and yes, I went w/Paypal as well this time -- had missed out on the pre-order for the B&W and still didn't order it yet).

John L Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) For this pre-order, as well as my last one from Mosaic, I never even received any sort of confirmation about it. When I gave my credit card online a week ago, I just got a message that my order is "being reviewed." That is it. Last time I sent 5 emails to inquire about it that went unanswered. Client relations at Mosaic have really reached a low point. Edited January 18, 2023 by John L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stompin at the Savoy Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) I paid with cc, had to reorder because the auth had expired, and received a tracking number just now. It's a bit of a nuisance to have to reorder but everything works out fine, don't panic. They have some glitches sometimes but I've been buying from these guys since the early 90's - they work hard to make it right for the customer. A while back I ordered a set for my son and then he turned out to be moving. I wrote to Scott and he expedited the order so he would get it before he moved.

jlhoots Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Why does everyone's credit card "expire"? Just wondering. I haven't ordered from Mosaic in a long time. Edited January 21, 2023 by jlhoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) In the case of these Mosaic purchases it is the "authorization" that expires, not the card. When you order you authorize the purchase, but there apparently is a time frame and if one has pre-ordered in advance it's possible that if there is a long time before the set is ready and shipped the authorization would expire and a new charge/authorization is needed. https://wallethub.com/answers/cc/how-long-does-a-credit-card-authorization-last-2140697276/ I have avoided this by using PayPal.

Stompin at the Savoy Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Because the policy is not to charge your card till it ships, they run the number through the process known as 'authorization' which presumably sends back some sort of return code indicating all is well, you can run the charge. But they advertise the release more than 30 days in advance and so the authorization expires. Possibly they should just charge the cards up front? I guess they do it this way because sometimes they have delays - bits of the box or print jobs get delayed, etc - they don't want to leave us hanging for weeks, months.

When they told me that I needed to re-authorize the card they also said I had not lost my place in line; my concern had been that I might then need to wait until they had made a second run.

jlhoots Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) The authorization expires, not the card. Obviously every card has an expiration date & your card then gets replaced. Edited January 21, 2023 by jlhoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stompin at the Savoy Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) When your transaction with a card is authorized, an electronic check is made of your account and it is determined whether you have sufficient capital or credit for the purchase. Obviously card holders can have changes in their situation so the authorization for the transaction expires after some period of time. I suppose what happened is they advertised a ship date and then had to postpone it. If they had made the original ship date, the earliest authorizations wouldn't have expired yet. (Scratching head) Come to think of it, seems like they opened up ordering for the set too early. Wasn't that a couple months ago? There are some improvements to the process they can make. In their defense I think the staff is pretty limited and they are doing all sorts of stuff and have a lot of balls in the air at all times... Bottom line is when you order from them you end up getting the set. And this has been going on for decades. I don't buy from them for their marketing efficiency. I care about the research, sourcing of materials, mastering, discography, etc so I am apt to be very indulgent about minor delays and glitches.

December 13 is the date I ordered it. On Monday the 16th they told me the authorization had expired. So, in other words, a one month window.
