Limbo | Do you have a reference to documentation that indicates charging before shipment is not legal in the U.S.?

It may be prohibited by some CC companies, but I don't see anything that indicates it's illegal.
"In addition, many credit card issuers have policies against merchants charging a credit card account before shipment. If you think a merchant charged your account prematurely, report it to the credit card issuer. Otherwise, the credit card issuer has no way to know that the merchant is not complying with its policies."
