A few days before your subscription ships, we'll send you a email letting you know that we expect to ship your subscription in the next week or so. At this time, we may request an authorization from your bank for the amount of the next shipment, and your bank may display this as a pending transaction, but we won't actually charge your card until your subscription ships. When we ship your subscription a few days later, we'll send another email letting you know that we charged your card and that your shipment is on the way. If your subscription includes any PDFs, this email will also tell you that those PDFs are now available from your My Downloads page.
