Default Re: I got them

First off, both new titles were delivered to Gambler's Book Shop (aka Club) at approximately 3:00 pm on Friday. I know for sure this was the case because I delivered them myself. Gambler's General Store got the books about 15 minutes later when I dropped them off there as well.

I also just spoke to Howard Schwarz of Gambler's Book Club and he said that he has no idea where

came from and that they would never make a statement like this.

Both these stores are given top priority by us and they each got books as soon as it was physically possible to get them the books.

I just purchased my copies of Professional No-Limit Holdem Vol. I and Sit n Go Strategy from Gamblers book store and they had plenty of copies. They said they got them in yesterday.

I almost did the same, but regular shipping looks like it could take awhile (the site said 4 to 30 days because they use something called media mail!!), depending on distance from Vegas! Since I'm in the northeast, I might have to wait a very long time and priority mail was a little expensive. So, for this time around, I will wait for Amazon.

However, if it turns out that others get their books quickly using the sloooow shipping method, than maybe I will make my next order through professionalpoker.com.

Too bad, because I was so ready to order. :-(

The media mail average time in transit for a cross country trip is 12 days. I state the wide range to be honest about the possibility of a slow delivery.

Here are my actual stats for the last month from my postage printing provider

Media Mail Average 6.6 days Min 1 days Max 27 days

I've always found media rate to be a lot faster than they say. Hoping it's the case here, cause I can't wait.

I believe you are speaking the truth. It would be silly not to give other sellers the book so that conjelco could sell it first. The most logical thing to do is to distribute the books as fast as possible to all the major sellers.

I still haven't gotten an e-mail from ConGelCo that mine was even shipped.

I obviously made a poor sourcing choice.

Nor did I, but I checked my order status at their site and it stated that it shipped on Friday and gave me the USPS tracking number.

Thanks. I'll have to check that when I finish reading Harry Potter.

Um, I mean 'When I get home from work.' I'll check that link just as soon as I get home from work...

Hello Mason,

Do you have any idea when Amazon or Barnes & Noble type sites would start shipping? I'm just curious because I pre-ordered from B&N. Thanks.
