New Harry Potter Book On Play.com -quick!

alchemista

Last book, there were people who said that theirs shipped really early and thought they'd get their book before everyone else. However, in the end they actually held on to the shipment until the release date.

I'm sure i've just read somewhere (Probably BBCNews website) that stores are only getting the delivery of these books the day before release date, and even then its going to be delivered in a steel cage with a chain around it.

I doubt it will be sent to Jersey more than a week early..

All this fuss over a book....steel cage...chains?!?! Just don't 'get' it!

I very much doubt if this will be shipped before Friday. My girlfriend works at one of the major distrubutors and they have very high security laid on for when the books arrive there on Wednesday. They won't be shipped until Thursday. I would imagine that any embargo breaking would be a couple of hours early on Thursday evening.

my order from play.com is also showing as dispatched on the 13/07/07....but how can it be dispatched on that date because that was when the postal strike took place??

i would guess that all the pre orders are now packed and in the distribution centre waiting for despatch on thursday or friday.

I have not ordered mine will go to tesco at midnight break (on nights) and pick one up. Dont like idea of ordering then it not to arrive cause of postal strikes and volume of people ordering via mail etc. Postman will be on overtime to get that lot delivered and what an ideal opportunity to make a point!!

I just got an email from amazon re my preorder

"Your Amazon.co.uk order is being prepared for dispatch"

and in my account it says

"Dispatched on 15 Jul 2007 "

"Delivery estimate: 21 Jul 2007
1 package via Royal Mail"
