Placed an order for a Samsung Odyssey+ VR headset from Amazon but haven't yet received any notifications regarding the charge on my credit card (it was about an hour ago). I've bought a lot of books on Kindle and it usually comes through in a few minutes. I checked my daily limits and it doesn't look like this should be an issue for my credit card.

Do larger orders take longer to process or could this be a banking issue?

Edit. In case anyone is curious, the headset, paying for standard (2 week) shipping and import tax brought the total for the whole order to R4800. Still a damn side cheaper than the R8k - R10k that most local places want for it.

Could be batching. They could be getting a lot of sales on all VR hardware from all around the world thanks to Valve.
 
Varies - anywhere between instant to a few days- especially if you selected the slow shipping option - that sometimes also correlates to slower processing.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. The charge came through a couple of hours after I posted this. Looking forward to some VR gaming in the near future :D
