Q. What is a pre-authorization?
A. A pre-authorization hold simply confirms that funds are available on your credit or debit card. As soon as we can confirm that funds are available, we release the hold, returning it to your bank. Please keep in mind that depending upon your bank's timeframe, the funds can re-appear immediately or require up to an entire billing cycle prior to release. Only once your item is ready to ship, will we place the actual charge on your form of payment.
For Pre-orders, you might see a double pre-authorization as often your bank’s initial hold has expired, so we need to pre-authorize again.
If you'd like to find out more about the timeframe you can expect, we recommend contacting your bank or credit card company for details.
If the re-authorization fails, we will email you and ask you to update to a new credit card. The time you will have to be able to update to a new credit card will vary based upon the form of payment originally used and when the product will be ready to ship. We recommend you update to a new credit card ASAP.

Q. Can I use a pre-paid credit card to place my order online?
A. We do accept prepaid credit cards, however, we recommend using a credit card with a credit line, a debit card that is linked to a financial institution, or your PayPal account for the most efficient shopping experience. Often pre-paid card purchases have trouble successfully going through for a variety of reasons.
If you decide to use your prepaid credit card, while we cannot guarantee the card will be accepted, we can offer a few tips. Please read the terms and conditions of the prepaid credit card before using it at the Sony Store. Please note, it is best to register your card with your name and billing address prior to purchasing online. Please make sure the value on the card can cover the entire order total. If there is a pending authorization on your prepaid card and your order is cancelled for any reason, it may take up to 30 days for the authorization to clear. The amount of time is dependent upon the issuing bank. You will need to keep the card throughout the entire process in case an amount is due or a refund needs to be credited. Please note, some prepaid cards do not accept refunds, meaning we will be unable to credit the original payment.

Q. I see a retail delivery fee on my Order Confirmation Email, what is this?
A.

Deliveries include when any taxable goods are mailed, shipped, or otherwise delivered by motor vehicle to a purchaser in Colorado. The fee (27 cents July 2022 – June 2023; 28 cents July 2023 – June 2024; 29 cents July 2024-June 2025, future fees subject to the state law) is indicated on the purchase receipt as “retail delivery fee”.
