Charged multiple times

I was charged for laptop and applecare. Invoice shows amount for laptop and applecare. Then, I got charged a second separate charge for applecare. I am typing this as I am talking to apple support. He is trying to convince me that this is standard apple business practice and that it is in their fine print. I asked him to send me an email explain this policy, but he said he is unable to do so. He explained that when an order contains multiple items, apple charges the items separately AND charges the full invoice amount. I asked him: so if I purchase 3 laptops, will apple charge me the full invoice amount, and then charge me separately for the 3 laptops, he said yes. I explained that when I hit the [Order] button, I am only authorizing apple for that order amount, not the extra charges, but he doesn't seem to agree with my logic. Is this even legal? Can anyone please point me to any fine print that Apple has on their website?

When it’s all said and done, you’ll end up paying the correct amount. I’m a former Apple Store Manager and have seen this multiple times. Yes, it’s confusing, but in the end what you pay will be correct.

If the charges do end up off, wait until all items have shipped and show actual charges. If the is an overcharge at that point, contact Apple Care and they’ll be able to process any refund, if necessary.

Is this a charge on your Apple Card MasterCard?
