howdarkwepray Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just got an email from Amazon UK telling me that the book won't be released until November 25th. I cancelled the order there, and ordered from the US instead, but the listed delivery date on my new order (though not the release date on the Amazon website) is late November to early December.

Bael's Bastard Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 My order (and the release date on Amazon) is still showing October 28. I hope it will not be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotcat Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Unless the international release date is changed from october 28th, it looks like those of us in the UK will have to wait until November 20th to get our hands on this. If this is a case that the U.S. release stays where it is, this really sucks for us 😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Hendrix of Rock Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Bummer, I hope I'm lucky and get it in October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatDave_Umber Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Very disgruntled email sent to Amazon UK. I would ask any others who are similarly effected send something similar to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdarkwepray Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for letting us all know, Elessar. Good news for all of us. Pretty sloppy behaviour from Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Very disgruntled email sent to Amazon UK. I would ask any others who are similarly effected send something similar to them. How did they respond to you? I got some wishy-washy response that in.a long-winded way said they can't tell me whether or not I will have the book on the release date, and that it is "subject to change"etc. Casually ignoring that I'd mentioned that elsewhere the book was confirmed.as this release date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastiecube Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Woo I was worried there for a minute. I'm in the US and ordered it from Amazon with same day delivery. The 28th can't get here soon enough! edit: I just checked my Amazon orders page to be sure. Still says "Guaranteed delivery by: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 by 8pm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lady Lannister Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Very disgruntled email sent to Amazon UK. I would ask any others who are similarly effected send something similar to them. Just had a very terse online chat with Amazon. I must have sounded like a panicky addict. In the end, they changed my delivery date to 5 to 7 November. It is still late, but I will be busy in the half-term week anyway, and doing a re-read now.

I'll walk by one tomorrow and check. Will let you guys know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Just received this email from Amazon.co.uk, a few days after the other email about the delay: "We have received new release date information related to the order you placed on March 09 2014 (Order# ...).The items listed below will actually be dispatched sooner than we had originally expected based on the new release date: Martin, George R. R. "The World of Ice and Fire (Song of Ice & Fire)" Previous estimated arrival date: November 27 2014 - December 02 2014 New estimated arrival date: November 05 2014 - November 10 2014" So I guess that delay was an error.

Or did you not select same day delivery? Because I've just got the same e-mail but with 28th October rather than 10th November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
