Pre-ordering items from the iTunes Store

If an item isn't yet available, you may be able to pre-order it and then download it when it becomes available.

Here are ways to pre-order items from the iTunes Store:

When you pre-order an item, you may not be able to download it at the exact moment it becomes available for regular purchase. You'll receive an email the same day to let you know when you can download the item.

Some albums or collections you can pre-order include a song available immediately. When you pre-order these albums, the available song is downloaded and you are charged only for that song. When you download the rest of the album (after you are notified it's available), you are charged for the rest.
