Didn't you get hosed on Deathly Hallows also?

Found the nearest B&N on Google Maps, went out during lunch hour, drove the 3 miles/30 minutes/3,271 traffic lights, no store there, called the number for directions, no answer, drove back to work, lunch hour over.

This isn't your day, WF. I think you should take the afternoon off.

Yes, I got uber hosed by Amazon with Deathly Hallows. That is why I now have two hardcover copies. The one I went out and purchased on the release day because they didn't deliver my preordered copy. Then they would not credit me back my money but rather insisted upon mailing me a replacement copy.

I am planning on buying a second copy of FR as a gift for someone else but it would have been nice to be able to mail it out sooner.

Wayfriend..... I have no words that could possibly comfort you in this time of pain and agony. Just remember that we all love you.

Seconded.

Uh, I hesitate to mention this, but...mine's here. (I'd gotten an Amazon Prime trial membership and forgot to cancel it, so they defaulted to two-day delivery for FR.)

It's shiny. And I even know all the people listed in the Acknowledgements.

And that's as far as I've gotten because they're making me WORK today. Of all days!

Oh! I know what else I was going to say! The fact that Amazon was surprised by the number of copies they're selling is a *good* thing for SRD, right?

Hug me!

I am I AM! Hugging you like a grizzly bear baby!

My hardback copies of the first six Covenant books arrived today. Now, if only this week will end with Fatal Revenant in the mailbox!

I could probably get a copy at B&N but I don't want two copies, and besides, I'm too lazy too drive!

now that's lazy!

Post by **dlbpharmd** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 7:17 pm

My copy has arrived! woo-hoo!

Post by **Waddley** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 7:53 pm

I got it! I got it!

I have about 15 minutes left on my lunch break. Reading.... NOW!

I got mine at about 3. Read WHGB but will wait to begin when I have a few hours to devote, probably later tonight. Good Luck all.

you know, as I was saying to DLBPharMD on the phone earlier, in about 3 days we are all gonna say:

$h!t! Three More years to wait!

Amazon don't have enough copies!!!???!!!

How ridiculous!

I got an email a couple of days ago from Amazon saying they had shipped mine.

As of this morning it was at a post office within thirty miles of my house. I am expecting it to either be at home when I get off work at midnight, or come to my house tomorrow.

I have never had a problem with Amazon. The Harry Potter books have always come on release day, for example.

I have ordered new releases for overnight mail to make sure I get them on release day - and then I get emails saying they are only going to charge me the regular shipping rate - and they get the book to me on release day anyway.

What can I say? they treat me really really well, which is why they get hundreds/thousands of dollars of business from me and my family on an annual basis year after year after year.

Now you see- for Runes I made the mistake of deciding to get it from the local stores. The huge Barnes & Noble in Ann Arbor had sold all of their copies through store pre-orders and had none left for people walking in the door.

Ditto for both big Borders stores.

I had to wait nearly a week for one of the Borders stores to get it in stock.

I learned my lesson. I ordered from Amazon this time - and as usual, they are not letting me down.

Incidentally, the first review is up at Amazon. It is very positive - and it gently chides THOOLAH.

I think that made my day.

Well: Amazon running out is a positive...it must be selling well!

The review (I assume we're talking about the review that gives it 5 stars??) is a review by Burgs (I'm 99% sure I've got that right).

I'm a little worried about my copy. Even though I got a shipping email from Amazon, now when I go to my amazon account it is like the order doesn't exist. There is no record of it in open orders. It's like it disappeared.

I can't get any tracking of it either.
