If they ship before they charge, they would be opening themselves up to all kinds of fraud and losses when people's cards bounce after the product has already gone out the door. The end result is that either they go out of business, and you can't get item, or they have to charge higher prices to cover the losses, and you are out $7 anyway.
Incidentally, ALWAYS check on whether an American retailer is willing/able to ship to Canada before buying.
