Wouldn't you have thought that someone somewhere would realise that they didn't have enough copies for everybody who'd preordered Rolling Eyes

You can buy it and it says 1-3 weekd dispatch, surely that can't be right as they had changed my estimate to May 1st, whihc is a month away Evil or Very Mad

The book depository have my order as in "processing", hopefully they have it in stock Rolling Eyes

I have just cancelled my copy too. To think I could have ordered it from Alice but didn't because I felt obligated to my pre-order.

I have just ordered from The Book Depository too.

I had the same problem - pre-ordered with Amazon in january for an April delivery then last week that suddenly changed to MAY!!!

Cancelled and ordered with book depository as they stated 1st April despatch.. then on the 1st April - said NO stock will tell me when available!!

Not happy so complained - they then cancelled my order!! BUT had stock with 48 hours at a higher price on their site!!

I complained again - they agreed to another order at the old price... (raise at current they would amend)..

They tried to amend - but cancelled the order by mistake!!

THEN reduced the price on their website and to 24 hours.. asked me to reorder again and gave me an additional £5 off!!

Not sure I'm meant to have this book - so will se when it appears - order still "processing"

Amazon will forward an email for you.

Go into your account and click on Cancel Items or Orders then when you find your Book Depository order click View Order which will then give you the option to click Problem with this order which should lead you to an email link which amazon will forward to you. I had a reply from then withtin 20 minutes confirming the refund.

I didn't order through amazon, I went direct with Book depository, but been following a thread on Ravelry in one of the cookie Forums and loads of people are getting emails saying the demand is higher than supplies they have and so they can't fulfill the orders. I've emailed them, but imagine they will be cancelling the order from their end anyway Smile

And whilst at socktopus, some malabrigo and smooshy jumped into my basket too Rolling Eyes

Only because of the drama this book has caused me Very Happy
