But it is not their fault either. It is B&H business practices causing it.
I think B&H charge your card in full & then (according to their t&c) take a week to refund you so they have free use of your cash.

Let's hope for a favorable response.
B&H is not permitted to bill you for goods before shipping. Since it's a "preorder" there was no possible way for them to ship the item. You are correct it is their fault. They possibly violated Federal Postal regulations.
I am confused on how it came to be $25. Did the USD weaken considerably against the Sterling? Or was their additional transaction fees imposed by your bank? Of course, if the USD strengthened you would have been ahead.
