When I buy on-line in Canada, I am charged when, from the seller's perspective, the item has shipped. It seems that it is actually when the shipping label has been printed and the fulfilment centre takes over. If I watch the tracking, it can be a couple of days later before the package shows up as arriving in some place like Mississauga, and then it can sit there for 3-4 more days before it actually hits the road. This is true when I buy from Amazon here, too, btw.
