In the past, google has let you purchase, then they tell you it's on backorder.

That's when I get paid and plan to order one of these beautiful devices! Haha!
Order one now. They don't charge your account until it ships(5 to 6 weeks).
That's interesting, because I accidentally clicked through on the 128GB version yesterday hoping there'd be a chance to try and finance it and I got an email saying that my card had already been declined. Now, that could've been because of spending limits on my Debit card, but it sure seems like they tried to charge me right away.
I think they check to see if the account is real. Here is my info. See screenshot that says "Card will not be charged until shipped"
Oh, my account is definitely real. I'm wondering if they won't authorize it without proper funds, but don't charge until it ships. I'd try again tomorrow after my paycheck clears, but if they decide to charge me right away for some reason, I'll be screwed. First half of the month is major bills time for me.
Idk. I just tried again with the 64GB aluminum version. I figured if they'd put it on order and not charge me for 5-6 weeks, I can pinch my pennies like crazy and swing it. Same story. Care failed. TBH, I'm not sure what, if anything, my spending limit per day is though. Been a long time since I made any kind of large purchase on the debit card.
That sounds familiar. As much as I want to pull the trigger, I think I'll pinch the pennies first, rather than place the order and hope I'm where I need to be when they go to charge my account. 
Good idea though.
Good idea though.You had to have had the removed. That is not SOP for any bank or credit union.
Yeah. I just combed through the agreements for my bank. Same story.
Well, I think what happens is that, even though they don't charge you until it ships, they still do put a hold for that amount on your card temporarily. That's what happened when I almost bought a MXP. They put a hold on my account for the cost of the phone for like 3 days, then it was removed. The customer service rep I talked to said that I wouldn't actually be charged until it shipped.
So, even if they are only putting a hold for that amount on your account, if you don't have the money to back it up, it will still get declined. That's my understanding, at least. My debit card was also declined when attempting to place the order.
