Yes, well. So rather than create a new Rant thread EVERY SINGLE DAY BEFORE THE BOOK COMES OUT, I thought that it might be better to have one thread that could be a kind of warehouse for updated shipping and recipient information.

Like, you can post here when Amazon or whomever tells you that your order has shipped, when you're scheduled to get it, etc.

As of today, Thursday, April 26th, 2007 (or it will be in 10 minutes), my copy of Rant, ordered from Amazon (through this very website) has not yet shipped.

My broke ass chose "standard shipping" (it killed me to do this), so Amazon says the book will not be here until May 3 - 5.

Those will no doubt be among the longest days of my life.

So.

Post yr shipping news info here Smile Big.

Here's my info.

I pre-ordered from St. Helen's a long time ago, and when we placed the order, we used our old credit card. In the space between the order placement, and the billing of that card, the card was shut down because someone swipped it and bought a whole bunch of shit. So, since that card didn't work, I got an email from SH's, and today my mom called and gave them our new card info. Everything worked out fine, and the woman said chuck has been in all week, and he's in tomorrow, and then they are shipping the books on May 1st. So if you ordered from SH's, don't expect an early one, which is fine. I can't wait to get mine!!

Congratulations, furleyguy!

Mine has still not shipped yet.

You live in OZ, as in Australia?

Did you pick one-day shipping or something?

Because, like I said.

Mine has not shipped yet Sad.

Oz as in Kansas. Lucky me.

I ordered like $100 worth of other books, and picked the free slow shipping. Still, not bad. I had to drop "Clown Girl," cuz it's on backorder, and I didn't wanna slow the rest down.

Lucky you, indeed! But you have taught me an important lesson.

Order a BUTTLOAD of stuff with my new Chuck book, and it'll all ship at once!

And early!

Because for ME, it's now Sunday, and my book STILL hasn't shipped yet.

I ordered it April 5th!

Now the book will be out in stores on TUESDAY, and I'll still be waiting! Sad

Sigh.

Monday April 30, 2007 - 3:12AM:

My copy of Rant is, "Preparing to Ship," from Amazon.

I don't even know what that means, but it sure sounds good! Smile Big

I ordered one from Amazon and one from St. Helen's.
Amazon just sent me an email that said it should be here on the 8th.
The race is on...

Mine just got here. Pre-ordered through Amazon. I just want to spend the rest of the day with Chuck, but I worked all night and don't want to fade mid-read. Just the first few pages, oh wow. My favorite human.

Mine showed up today. It was leaning against the door when I LEFT FOR FUCKING WORK!
But later, I guess.

Received my copy of "Rant" today from St. Helen's Book Shop - including a funny inscription and signature from Chuck P.

St. Helen's and Chuck are awesome!

I ordered mine online from Barnes & Noble a couple of weeks ago, where it was much cheaper (after member's discounts around $85). Well I just got an email today saying it's been pushed back and won't be shipped until May 31st... anyone else have to deal with this kind of mess?

Mine didn't come today like I expected (It says "Left Dallas" Yesterday and I live in a suburb of Dallas...) so if it's not here tomorrow I think I'll go kill USPS.
