Chaeron Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 UPS should still get it there pretty quickly I'd imagine. I'm excited. It doesn't get delivered by UPS. It gets delivered by the by UPS to the local Post Office which then..... well I presume you've heard the jokes about the United States Postal Service even across the pond, right? I sadly have. Awkward, I thought it'd be direct to you. Well, good luck my friend.

The United States want to police the world and they can't even get their postal service to work.

Kol Saresk Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 To be fair, the USPS should work without a hitch. The problem is that it depends on people.

DarKnight Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 For all the people in the thread that bought the Advance Special Copy, what feature carried more weight to you: the exclusivity of the advance copy, or the fact that you would be getting it early?

Dragonlover Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mine's been shipped, the email showed up at half eight this morning. For me it's partially the exclusivity, partially the fact I can't be bothered to spoiler dodge for three months. Plus, y'know, birthday money so it doesn't really count as my purchase.

Emperors Immortals Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Id kill someone for that book. For now I'll settle with assembling and painting my BL army. Interestingly, it takes 4 days and eight dollars to get a book from China, but $25 and two weeks from USA.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Mine was dispatched today!!!! I bought it simply because the first chapter had me hooked, I don't want to wait, and I can afford it. Plus it'll look damn good sat next to my HH books. Only downside is I'll have to keep buying the first editions of all the next books in the series, curse you ADB!!!!!!!!!

Kol Saresk Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Yeah, I think I'll just stick to this specific trilogy. I didn't mind Nick kyme's Salamanders series, but fluff-addiction isn't so invested in the XVIII that I'd buy a first edition for them. Now slap the VIII and XVII on there and you'll see an overly competitive costumer out of me.
