Literally no one does it like that...no one. You place an order for something that's backordered, they also don't charge you until it's shipped, and you won't get notified beforehand either.
Notify me would literally be an email they couldn't even be bothered to do that.
You would have thought they actually wanted the three grand, like contacting me cost cost them nothing and they didn't do it they just cancelled the order.
I cannot express this part enough, the time between the pre-order and them charging me was like 5 months. I'm not going to keep massive amounts of money in a personal account for months on end just so they can randomly charge for it on a arbitrary Wednesday afternoon that's ridiculous.
