Has anyone gotten their preorders from amazon.com yet? It still hasn't even shipped for me yet.

Mine shipped yesterday, the same day I ordered it.

I preordered 2 box sets about 3 weeks ago, neither has shipper yet. :smallfrown:

Was it the gift set, or individual books? Sorry for not clarifying.

Just the PHB. I'm not due to DM for about a year.

Yeah, I preordered a couple days ago, hopefully shipping on the tenth(just in time for our Friday session).

Well, if it does not ship by tomorrow, I'm canceling and going to my local gaming store.

I preordered the gift set and it's estimated shipping date is the 10th.

I'm a little annoyed; I preordered the gift set months ago and it hasn't yet shipped. It looks like they do the recent orders first. :smallannoyed:

I preordered back in February. Amazon.com says it should ship today.

I changed the shipping method on my gift set and it went from an estimated ship date of June 10th, to July 28th!

I cancelled the order and just ordered the books individually, and now their delivery estimate is June 9th.

I ordered my gift set and it came up as shipping on July 24th....I just cancelled it and went down to my game store and bought it.

I wonder when we will be able to pre-order our 4.5 books?

You might want to wait a day or so if it says it won't be shipping until the 10th or something. I ordered mine from B&N and received them today, but until I got the e-mail about them shipping (which was yesterday morning early) it said they were "On time to ship on June 10th" or something like that.

My boxed set from amazon, ordered around march, is slated to ship the 10th.

That said, Amazon always says their stuff is going to ship later then it actually ships, that way if they ship it late it's actually on time instead of early so you get less complaints.

It's basic cover-your-rear business tactics.

I just called to complain after my ship date was changed from June 6 to June 9-12 and they gave me free two day delivery. So everyone call amazon at 1-866-216-1072 if you're having trouble! Hopefully with enough complaints they'll fix whatever problem is causing the delay.

Same here, I looked at Amazon earlier this morning, just to see why I hadn't gotten my shipping confirmation e-mail yet...

Just got an email from amazon changing my delivery date from 6/10 to ship date of 6/18-6/24.

Mine said it would ship on the 9th, but actually shipped on the second and I got mine yesterday. Amazon.ca, though.

I got this also. I canceled the gift pack order and reordered the books separately yesterday. They shipped today. Doing this costs 15 more dollars, however.

I just canceled my gift set order, and reduced my order to just the PHB. From what I have seen of 4e, it doesn't warrant me buying all three books.

Very confused now. I wasn't paying attention to what I had canceled, so I canceled the PHB order I had just placed. However, I now notice that my gift set order cannot be canceled, because it is apparently being prepared for shipping. The delivery date is still 6/18-6/24, even with 2 day shipping.

So, if it's being prepared now, does it really take 2 weeks to stuff a box?

They sent me an e-mail claiming they didn't have enough stock and that my books have been delayed until the 16th at least.

No idea if it's their fault, but it's really annoying to preorder about 4 months in advance and still have them lacking enough stock.

We ordered it on Easter. It says Shipping on 10th of June, but we shouldn't get it till 17th.

Amazon sucks if this is when I'll get it.

So, even after getting the email that my estimated delivery date was switched to 6/18-6/24, my books arrived this evening, a day before the original 6/10 estimate.

Go figure.

I'm in the same boat as many of you. I preordered in early May and the ship date was suddenly moved back to June 16-24. Of course, that do this on the 7th, not beforehand. No games store within 15 miles of my house has the books in stock, so I guess I'm stuck here waiting for Amazon to fix their problems.:smallannoyed:

Mine two boxed sets (I have a friend who doesn't have internet access, so he gave me the cash) are both still slated to ship tomarrow, and arrive sometime after the 17th. I can live with that. Getting something online within 2 weeks of the release date is actually really good, and I'm saving a ton of money, so I'm happy.

I called Amazon: they changed my shipping date to 17th even though Account still says 10th.

They say they out of stock.

It's a good thing I don't have time to read it right now... but it would be nice to have it in my hands. :smallfrown:

I got my ship confirmation email late last night. And it's expected to arrive on the 16th! I don't want to wait til Monday, I was looking forward to having them this weekend. They better get here earlier than expected! :smallfurious::smallfurious::smallfurious:

I got an e-mail from them saying my Pre-Order shipped today with a delivery of the 17th. Nothing on USPS for the tracking number yet though.

I got an e-mail from Amazon telling me that my order was delayed and would arrive 06/19/2008 - 07/01/2008 :smalleek:; 18 hours late I got another e-mail indicating my order had shipped and providing me with a USPS tracking number:smallconfused:. This number didn't show anything until today, and it now shows that my shipment has arrived at the regional sorting location, so I expect I'll get my order tomorrow:smallsmile:.

Bottom line is don't believe the e-mails; call Amazon.

Keep in mind that amazon has a long track record of saying things are going to come later then they acually will, that way you are happy when they get to you "early". Also keep in mind that 4e books are almost impossible to keep in stock, even for a big company like amazon.

This is a little off-topic, but I got all three books today for free :smallbiggrin:. I won them in a raffle at my local gaming store.

Mine shipped Monday.

Amazon now says that the estimated arrival time is August 8th, 2011.

So...I'll get my 4e books just in time for 4.5 to come out...

(Yes, I'm aware it's probably just a typo)

I had pre-ordered mine March 22nd. Hardly early, I realize. But now they've changed the ship date from June 10th to July 14th.

Man, talk about a Charlie Foxtrot. I am torn: support my FLGS and get the books now, or wait and have a decent price? I have access to the material at least--a friend got his on time :smallmad:

Amazon just changed my order made in March to an estimated ship date of July 7th, needless to say this making me a little angry. Of course because I payed for the item with a coinstar receipt, there isn't much I can do.
