Your credit card is pre-authorized after you have completed your online order. Nothing is charged to your card until an item has shipped out. Authorization holds or pending charges help us verify available funds on your payment method before shipping your order. We do not charge for your order until it ships. Once your order ships, any authorizations will drop automatically and be replaced by the actual charge. Items that have not shipped within 7 calendar days of placing the order will be re-authorized for any unshipped amount. If your order is shipped in multiple packages, charges will appear as each package ships. If your order contains in-store pickup items and items being shipped, you may see multiple pending authorizations when items are being shipped. We will charge you for the item(s) when it is ready to be picked up. Additional charges will eventually drop off after merchandise is picked up in-store or merchandise is delivered but could take up to several days. Your bank may hold this amount for a specified amount of time, depending on your bank's policy. Big Lots cannot remove authorizations from your account, only your financial institution can assist. Cancelled orders automatically trigger a refund or removal of a hold on your card. If you notice a pending charge against your account for a cancelled order, contact your financial institution to inquire about removing the hold or the timeframe for removing it from your Account.

We charge your credit card when the items in your order have been processed and shipped. If you ordered multiple items, and they were shipped separately, you might see separate charges for each item. We will not charge you more than you authorized during checkout.
