Disturbing e-mail from amazon.co.uk

[MadMat]

I've had no email, and my "My Account" page is still showing 23 Jul 2007 - 25 Jul 2007 as the estimated delivery date.

Maybe they've had more pre-orders than they anticipated and can't cover them all ?

How long ago did you pre-order? I guess they will be giving priority to earliest orders but I ordered well over a month ago.

[MadMat]

I ordered on 28th June

Well I am very sure I ordered well before you so whatever policy amazon.co.uk are using, it aint fair! lol

Anyway I have now cancelled and ordered from Profpoker site, postage is pretty damn high but it'll be worth it.

I ordered mine from www.highstakes.co.uk they seem to be good for these more specialist books. They are based in London so if you live there you might be able to pick one up as sson as they get stock.

My email of gloom arrived this morning. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

although perhaps they will send the books out sooner than the new date given!! I would be surprised if it took Amazon 2 months to get it in stock at their uk branch and deliver it. I know the book will have been heavily in demand, but the print run surely would have taken that into account!...besides, looking at the number of people cancelling their order and going to Highstakes means that i will be further up the list at amazon [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Lucky i have got Sam o'connors book still to read (and many other poker books lying unread to keep me going until they arrive [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

In Amazon, pre-orders will be handled last.

Hi banana:

While I don't know exactly, I'm sure Amazon.UK will get their books sooner than they are saying. My best guess is that even though we ship directly to Amazon.com and Amazon.Ca (Canada), Amazon.UK probably gets our books from either Ingrambooks or Baker & Taylor. These are two big wholesalers we deal with, and our shipments to them will go out no later than Wednesday. That means that at least one of these organizations will probably be shipping to Amazon.UK by the end of this month.

Best wishes,
Mason
