even if they don't actually take the money prior to dispatch, it would be fairly normal to request the funds are held from your available balance (to prevent them being used elsewhere).
The settlement (the actual transfer of cash) can take place days later, or be cancelled by the retailer in the interim. This cancellation wouldn't stop the funds being unavailable to you in the meantime though...
