Amazon.com is INSANE!
Mar. 28th, 2012 04:31 pmI just ordered three David Weber hard-covers from Amazon - A Rising Thunder (currently available from Baen), War Maid's Choice (estimated release early July from Baen), and Midst Toil and Tribulation (estimated release early September from Tor). I chose the SuperSaver shipping, knowing that it would probably delay A Rising Thunder.
Here's how they are grouping the shipments:
Delivery estimate: Sept. 24, 2012 - Sept. 28, 2012
"Midst Toil and Tribulation (Safehold)"
"A Rising Thunder (Honor Harrington)"
Delivery estimate: July 10, 2012 - July 16, 2012
"War Maid's Choice: N/A (The Bahzell)"
I looked at this, and went "What?". I just talked to a customer service rep - he said it is because of which facility A Rising Thunder is currently available at, and which facilities War Maid's Choice and Midst Toil and Tribulation are ordered for. I looked at this and declared it insane - they are going to hold a copy of a book at facility A for nearly six months!
