When you place an order the account is billed for the amount. Normally goes onto your next bill, though sometimes may require up-front payment. In either case it is not dependent on how soon you get the equipment.

The only way to remove the charge is to call DirecTV and close the order. The charges should reverse within 48 hours of doing so.

Nobody will call you as that is not how customer support works. You call them as always. Unfortunately they are still short staffed as were required to have many call centers closed because of Covid-19. So hold times can still be high until they are allowed to go back up to normal staffing levels.

THIS IS A CUSTOMER-TO-CUSTOMER MESSAGE BOARD. NO ONE HERE HAS ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT. NO ONE IS GOING TO CALL. IF YOU REFUSE TO CALL YOU CAN TRY THE CHAT OPTION.

The order needs cancelled so the charges can be refunded.
