They will charge your card when the item ships. You might see a temporary charge for $1.00 to pre-authorize your charge though.

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply! Price increases coming tomorrow (not sure if on the Port though) and I want to get my order in before it goes up, but take the credit card hit later.

From what I have read online, the price of the Port will remain the same.

Regardless of price increase or not, it would be a good idea to get in line now. It is very likely that there will continue to be a backlog for new orders placed in three months.

Yeah, I didn’t put an order in when they were ~2 months back ordered, thinking they’d get more stock in. Now it’s 3 months. :(

There is no indication currently when the world wide chip shortage will ease. Even automobile manufacturers are idling plants as they aren’t able to get the necessary electronics.
