I ordered a batch of books in mid March. One of them was a pre-order for a book due for release 1st May.

You’d think I have the order by now, right? After all, when I placed it, the estimated delivery was 15th May.
About 2 weeks ago I checked and it said 6th June.
I just went to check on my second order and noticed the March order has gone out to JULY.
There was only one preordered book in this, it’s a Silhouette Nocturne and they get released beginning of the month. Considering I ordered nearly 2 months ago, you can’t tell me that they didn’t have stock in the meantime. What’s more, if I end up missing that book (I happen to like the previous two) I’ll end up paying a premium for it. Again. And I’m sick of it.
This is the third time a pre-order minced up the delivery and I’m going to look at someplace like Waterstones or Borders from now on.

Oh, not to mention, one of the pre-order books I placed previously? I ended up getting an email telling me it was “no longer available” and I ended up having to find a battered used copy someplace else.

Color me pissed. I am not impressed.
