[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Pre-Ordering From Amazon

Ask their help desk - looks like a computer glitch. 

You should get the same answer from borders.com, as they're run by amazon anyway. 

Heidi, who ordered hers from amazon in Feb, 2001 - the order is still pending.

**huge gasp**

This is horrible!!!!

This is the response I get from Amazon (US), having pre-ordered 
yesterday! 

"Shipping estimate: September 22, 2003 - January 20, 2004 
Delivery estimate: September 25, 2003 - January 26, 2004 "

What?!?!?! 

For those of you who have bookstore/pre-ordering/Amazon/etc. 
experience, can anyone tell me why I might get this kind of date? I 
know I got a bit behind in my emails, but to have to wait *that* long 
for the book, should that be right? Is it a first-come-first-served 
kind of thing, and so many people got in before me so that's why I'm 
getting this kind of date? 
I'm checking with Borders and B/N tomorrow to see if I can get a 
better answer. I guess I'll wait in line!
