Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
Amazon is charging $8.98 to get the CD on release day. I am not sure it's worth that much in shipping charges. I probably would buy the mp3 anyway. Anyone getting cheaper shipping not related to being a member of something?
Is my dude a dweeb?

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
The release-date delivery is free with Prime, which I already had. I agree that $9 is crazy. I probably won't actually get the CD until that evening, so I'll be listening via AutoRip or one of the streaming sites until then.

Same here. UPS delivers around 6 PM in my neighborhood. I may just be too impatient and have to go searching at Wal-Mart.

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
The time UPS delivers is different every day in my neighborhood. Some days it'll be around 11, other days, 5, some days it doesn't come till 8, and every time in between.

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
I usually get my Amazon deliveries through the USPS. Is it different with pre-orders?

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
I have Amazon Prime, and I'm hoping it shows up Monday night for some reason. If not, I'll download the files as soon as they are available - either from Amazon or iTunes if necessary.

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
Just remembered that my copy of Alpocalypse did show up the night before the official release. Thanks for sparking that memory, Jon!

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
Well where I live there isn't even a release date so shut up. My brother's getting it from Amazon for my birthday but I'll probably just download it by whatever means necessary ASAP.

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
With Bermuda's confirmation of not expecting an exclusive collectable with the album, and Jon saying that he had taken advantage of offers like that from Walmart before, I've canceled my pre-order. Still waiting it out to see how I want to get the album.

Re: The Amazon Pre-Order!
A signed booklet is enough of a collectible for me! I'm keeping my Wal-Mart preorder. And my Amazon one. I have bought two copies of the previous two albums too. Might as well on this one too.
