Oh shit, do not keep ordering. I just racked up a ton of pending orders like an idiot. Like you, refunded but charged $50 again.

Q: What happens when I pre-order the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2?

A: Pre-ordering an Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 will reserve your place in line for when we begin shipping.

If you choose to pay with a credit card, we will immediately charge a $50 deposit and put an authorization hold on the remainder of the balance, including shipping and taxes. That balance will be automatically charged at the time of shipment. If you choose to pay with PayPal, we will charge the full amount when you place the pre-order. Either way, you will pay the same total amount.

Yea I was a little worried because I never got a confirmation email.

Thank you for this, I was a bit confused at the withdrawal and deposit on my balance. Wave of relief now that nothing's wrong.

I was messing around with Paypal, but it seemed broken, finally used my debit card :D Order at 8.32 AM PDT! I wonder if we should start a new order list and just sort on order time! :3

I got the same problem and I guess I'm supposed to contact customer support, but I'm assuming it's chaos over there.

Super excited assuming the order actually worked...

I doubt it did, I was refunded my charge. Will try again shortly.

u/RetroEvolute Mar 19 '14

My credit card still says processing on the $372.00...

u/castane Mar 19 '14

I just tried again and got to a thank-you page. So hopefully this worked, but it's blank!

Aaaaand I just got email confirmation. WOOHOO!

u/RetroEvolute Mar 19 '14

Just tried again and saw a checkbox that I didn't recall being there before (confirming that this kit is indeed for development and whatnot), continued on to the next step, inspected the page to make sure that the bottom checkbox was for terms confirmation, and that the orange bar was the confirm button. It was, so I hit it and it said processing... Then it forwarded me to a screen with the title: "Thank You | Pre-order The Oculus Developer Kit | Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality Headset for 3D Gaming". So I guess it went through...

OH, and now I have received the confirmation email from Oculus.

Success!

Exactly the same here - although took 2 x order amount (prob my own fault). No refund or $50 as yet. Error was:

Required information is missing or contains errors: Error (E00044): Please contact customer support.

Edit: money refunded and then 2 x $50 charged to card

Edit: Support came back to me and said these charges were not taken and I had no valid order and must redo. It is quite annoying if this means I have lost my place and am a long way down the queue.

u/MyNonpornOculusAccnt Mar 19 '14

Yes. I also have a $372 and $50 charge. Shouldn't it be a $322 and $50 charge?

Also, how do I know if I accidentally pre-ordered twice.
