Ordering online
Nov. 18th, 2003 12:43 pmBecause Amazon were so good when OotP came out (they had it delivered to my door at 07.30 on the day it was issued) I decided to order the TT EE from them (sometimes because of work I can't get to the shops for several days, and I wanted the EE as soon as possible). But Amazon are saying that they're dispatching it today, which means that (knowing the postal system where I live) I might even not get it until Thursday. (As it happens I could have gone and bought it - my cousin got her copy from ToysRUs just down the road on Sunday morning, dammit!)
So what do I do about PotC? Amazon reckon (if their website is to believed) that they're dispatching on the 5th with a delivery estimate of the 8th, which seems unacceptable to me given that the release date is the 1st. Do I cancel the order (waiting an extra week for it is just not on, however good deprivation might be for my soul...), and risk not being able to get to a store? Or do I leave it?
If the TT EE is there when I get home tonight then maybe I'll stick with Amazon. If not, then I'll cancel the order and drop them a line to tell them why.
