    Has it actually been refunded or is it just the pre-authorised amount has not been taken yet, and so the available balance has gone up?

    The full amount has actually been refunded but on my Amazon account still showing as dispatched I thought it said delivery by tonite at 9pm but it says 9pm 16 March which is tomorrow

    There are suggestions that apple will be announcing the new iPad air or equivalent next week (monday) i wonder if the company has sold all its stock of the air2 and not ordering any more at this time until they are aware of what the apple announcement is (for example prices of older models often drop on release of newer ones etc)

    What has happened to me a few times with Amazon. Ordered something, the money goes into the hanging balance ring fenced for Amazon payment. They are slow at taking it and it goes back into my account and they take it again a few days later. The thing I ordered has arrived no problem.
