Hi! Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, not sure where to ask.

I've just pre-ordered from GW for the first time ever and I'm unsure how it works. Should I have recieved my pre-orders already or is it normal procedure that they are dispatched the Monday after the release date?

Thanks!

Edit: NVM, found their FAQ. It says it will dispatch on the monday after the release.

Well usually they send them out the day before release so you get them on the day.

Ah, thats too bad. According to my account it's not even despatched.

if you pre-order from GW you have 2 options:

- pick it up in a GW store = you will get it the day it is released
- send it home = dispatched on Monday after release and after orders from the Weekend are done (if you have bad luck and they are out of stock than you wait a very long time for your order)

pre-order only guaranty you a product if you pick it up on your own or order from your local (non-GW) game store

I'm very disappointed about pre-ordering from GW. I just looked at the tracking and my books will not be here until Wednesday (6/21) afternoon. I was told by a GW employee that if I have the 8th ed. pre-order delivered to my home I may get lucky and have it delivered yesterday (6/16), most likely it will arrive today (6/17), or if I get unlucky it will arrive on Monday (6/19). I must be extremely unlucky. A few more days of waiting won't kill me, but still, very disappointing.
