Does anyone know what it means when on the order status page, the book's status changes to "Pre-Release" and the book has been released a while ago?
Or (put another way) what happens if the book you've ordered is thereafter removed from the site? Do they order it or cancel it?0 -

That pre-release is just nonsense, I check the status of my books orders twice a day and nearly all of them go to pre-release, it doesn't mean anything the status has always changed to depatched, longest i've waited for one to get out of that pre-release status is a week. They've never cancelled any of my orders that have had that pre-release status so I wouldn't worry about that.
CD-WOW are a confusing lot sometimes, you get pre-release status on books that have been out years, dates of dispatch listed as sometime in 1970 and dispatch emails after you've received your goods.0 -

You'd just dispute the charge with your credit card company and they'd be requested to prove you authorised the transaction ... and of course you've got an email stating a different price.
Besides it seems that they automatically charge the post-discount price, so they'd have to cancel that, and then re-do the whole thing with the full price. So it'd be easier for them just to cancel the order altogether.
Furthermore, since the voucher isn't cancelled, i'd assume their system wouldn't be able to immediately check which vouchers have been used (as it stands to reason if they could do that they wouldn't be re-usable) so they would have to go through each and every order made by you to double check each one. (Of course, you can guard against this too by making things a little trickier by not using their membership account to purchase goods)0 -
I have about 100 of these pm me if you want one it will be shared with 100 of people so you would be lucky to be able to use it but im sharing this one as i have to many that i do not use.0

Can someone pretty please PM a voucher??
MANY THANKS in advance!0 -
There is also the possibility of being banned by CDWOW, right?0

dont think they will ban you, worst that'l happen is you get your orders cancelled and maybe a email saying why;) .I've not had one order cancelled yet usuing the same voucher:D but i know if you use a discount link + voucher its more likley you get found out so to speak:o0
