OM D5 Olympus Store order on-line : Estimated Delivery

I received an email today from olympus indicating a 2-3 week window for delivery of my order placed April 25th. That was in response to an email I sent them a week ago. There is at least consistency in what they are telling me.

My understanding regarding the charges is that they will "reserve" the charge against your credit card credit limit but Olympus will not actually charge the sale until it ships. All that does is reduce your credit limit while the "reserve" is pending against your card.
