Date of Purchase/Purchase History Chaos

Question

I noticed in my purchase history that the date recorded on my purchase was 2 days before the actual purchase. (I purchased on May 14, date recorded in iTunes store is May 12.) Can this cause any issues? Billing or otherwise? My calendar on my computer is accurate.

Hi there...
To verify your actual date of purchase, you would need to have a valid
recipt from the reseller; be it the official email sent to you to use as
a proof of purchase or a paper recipt from a retailer. And maybe proof
of purchase from your credit card bank, as records of transactions are
kept for a period of time when you use such forms of payment.
A dated transaction showing a like payment amount (ie: the item is
identical to your iBook's cost) may not be good enough; but it is a start.
So, there are a few ways to validate that activity depending on payment.
Documentation is best if you keep it together from the first day; I have a
hard copy of all my online computer purchases and keep a copy with
each of my computer's paperwork. One visit to an authorized repair
service, and you can see the value in this. [I've had the repair people keep
my printed recipts, too; and that was unnecessary with full Applecare.]
Some credit cards offer an extended warranty of some type for a
limited group of electronics bought new with their card; to add up
to one year over the original coverage. But this is a separate
matter to check; usually before using those cards to buy stuff.
