Cass_da_sweet:
I also ordered it in advance but had quite a different experience.
It was in my mailbox on the release date but the postman shoved it
into my apartment-sized mailbox and we couldn't get it out. Then
when we had him open the whole thing the next day the book was all
torn and messed up and it wasn't from us trying to get it out. So I
guess it depends on the postman. I personally am going to buy mine
at the midnight release.
