| | |  Amazon guarantees release date delivery for DH
Amazon has today confirmed an alliance with UPS and the U.S. Postal Service to ensure that fans get their copy of Deathly Hallows on the morning of Saturday July 21st. The price of shipping remains the same as the current standard rate, however Amazon Prime members will get the delivery free of charge. Should the book not be delivered on the right day, the cost of the novel will be refunded. Quote:
“We are excited to once again delight Amazon.com customers by offering guaranteed Saturday delivery for ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ so the book can arrive at their doors the first day it’s available,” said Greg Greeley, vice president of books at Amazon.com. “Our agreement with UPS and the U.S. Postal Service means that hundreds of thousands of Harry Potter fans across the country can start reading this final Harry Potter book the day it’s released without having to stand in long lines or stay up all night to do it.”
Quote:
“UPS is working its own magic to ensure Harry Potter fans and Amazon.com customers have ’Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ in their hands the first day it’s available,” said Kurt Kuehn, senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at UPS. “Our secret potion is the hard work and dedication UPSers have always provided Amazon.com throughout our longstanding relationship.”
“Our employees are proud to be a part of such a special delivery to hundreds of thousands of Harry Potter fans and Amazon.com customers,” said Tony Pajunas, vice president, network operations, for the Postal Service. “At the Postal Service, we deliver magic daily.”

Oh good! I was wondering if they were going to do this for book 7. I don't think I will be able to do midnight madness this year, so I pre-ordered. I've done pre-order before and they really do get it to you on release day.

Sounds good. I'm not going to pre-order this one time though... People in my city are more tempted to read the translated version so I won't have any need to pre-order

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

YYAY! Thats amazing. I know people who have preordered in the past and it cost them more and they had to wait a day longer to get theirs. Thats why I never ordered ahead of time.

I'm glad that they're garanteeing that it comes on the release date, otherwise your money back. Not that it matters too much to me, of course...I'm getting my copy at a midnight party, and my deluxe edition comes in the mail from Amazon. I'm excited. | |
