Exp Pre order on SE store, up front cash or .....

Does the SE store take cash up front when pre ordering or is it like amazon where they dont charge until it ships

Looks like they charge when ships This is what their site says. This is for the NA store

A pre-order is an order you place for a product which will be released and shipped at a later date, but for which you will not be charged until within a few days of shipping.

Not sure about game preorders, but when I ordered my Delivery Moogle from the NA SE store, it did not charge me (and the delivery moogle wont ship now until atleast June) so I'm guessing they dont charge you until it it ships.

The EU store States that payment is at the time of order, so I guess it depends on which store you're using.

Quote from the site:

What is pre-ordering?
Pre-ordering is when you order and pay for a product before the product is available or in the case of a game, before the game´s official release date.

thank you!

It may depend on whether it's physical or digital?

im getting the physical for my wife and doing digital for myself

Question. If you pre order the physical copy for the CE. Do you have to upgrade the shipping to day one or is it free day one shipping on pre orders?

They usually charge a day or two before it ships.

Doesn't really matter what shipping you choose, SE store usually ship items prior to their release date so they arrive on release day.

Dam I wish I had known that with the type 0 CE. They got me with $20 day one shipping. Thanks for the heads up.

Reg. EU preorders

They changed it recently it seems, found this today as I'm waiting for the preorders to go live.
They haven't updated the poilicies yet to reflect the change from what I understand.

TL;DR
Payment is first done 10 working days before shipping.
A reminder is sent 5 days before payment by e-mail
