Received an email this morning from the Book Depository saying that my preorder would be refunded, as 'the line has been canceled'. Anyone know anything about this? I did some digging around, and the Book Depository has yet to remove #4, along with subsequent releases from their site. Same story at Amazon UK. The Darksmith website has nothing, and appears to be functioning normally.

*grumbles* I'm hoping it's just that the BD has decided not to carry the line, not that it's actually being halted.

EDIT: Have heard from the Book Depository (did I mention I lurve them?) - apparently, they've run out of their stock, NOT that the series is being canceled. Will have to order Darksmith #4 from elsewhere, but I'm ok with that, as long as the series is still ongoing. So, I suppose my next question is for [livejournal.com profile] principia_coh - when did you preorder Darksmith #4?

My beef with Amazon is that the US branch will sometimes end up delaying shipment for months on end at the very last minute; my most recent experience with AUK almost resulted in my shipment going back because it shipped from Amazon.de and they decided to ship it with signature tracking without telling me, so the thing sat at my Post Office for almost three weeks.

If I could combine the fish from Landsdowne, and the sweet potato chips (the really good skinny ones) from OBL next door, I'd be in a good place.

Isn't plaice dangerously close to being overexploited right now? That said, we had some in London and it was darned tasty.

Oh nice. Not. :/ My post office *lost* the first shipment BD sent me. Then they replaced it, and 2 months later, my post office found the original. It took 3 tries for them to finally send it back. (Granted, the first time I forgot a customs form.)

Ha! Yes, he is in finance. Feeling the pain, right now - but then again, so is everyone. Hence me working more than I'd like right now.

BUT... that said, market is showing signs of recovery. As the hubby said Wednesday morning, 'SADDLE UP!' Now's the time to buy stocks. Not that I know anything about them, just passing that on.

I'm getting about ready to switch over to getting DWM from my local comic shop, due to the abuse the mags get put through by my lazy-ass mail delivery guy (I'm sure I've told you my Deathly Hallows story).

Sadly, they have not been solicited for the DVD Files. I did check.

Me, I'm still waiting for the solicitation for the new RPG to come through.

As with cod and salmon here in the States, it depends on the source. I was a good little munchkin and checked the provenance when I ordered it on the last trip.

You want "special"? My town got too large, and instead of building a bigger facility, the cheap bastards at the USPS decided to turn their holding center into a pickup gulag for people from the southernmost zipcodes in our town.

I say gulag not because the atmosphere is problematic (I could give a rat's ass if I can buy the latest postal tchotchkes when all I want is my package)—it's the hours. They don't open until 10.00 am, don't stay open later than 5.00 pm on any day, and are only open from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm on Saturdays.

*gnashes teeth*

Haven't heard the Deathly Hallows story... but I'll bet it was ugly!

New RPG? *perks up*

That's unfortunate. Mine opens at 7am, closes at 6pm, and they have cookies. Shorter hours on Saturday, though - might be similar to yours?

Long story short: delivered to box instead of door, box opening is different size on their side than on the customer's side, literally couldn't get the book out.

Yeah, it's by Cubicle 7. They were ostensibly going to release last year, but at this point I'm hearing some time in Q2.

wow. XD they were out of stock? Does IDW only print to order? Interesting.

That... well... that runs in PART of my family. The doctor told my mom she'd have a hard time getting pregnant and might look into fertility drugs, it took 3 years, but they had me I'm not sure what came inbetween. My brother, however, *evil grin* was, as my mom puts it, "a pleasant surprise." XD;;; Hopefully we do okay when the time comes. We can always keep trying... and go from there.

XD;;; Wonder how early the pool on campus opens. *if it's 6:00am like the Rec... I COULD be up early ish?

Same here. If you work 9-5, you're screwed. god help you if a package or large letter comes and you're out of town, too.

Especially true if you're one of the majority of folks in the area who have to commute downtown. It's ludicrous.

This wasn't IDW - was a preorder with the Book Depository.

Here's hoping you won't have any trouble when the time is right. *crosses fingers*

Pool? Are you a swimmer?

*headdesk* You'd think that'd be obvious to the person doing the delivering....

What is it? Gaming stuffs?

That'd be the last thing to recover in any given recession. Unemployment numbers will likely worsen in the near future.
