I'm curious how the shipments have progressed from Amazon. I ordered the Field Guide on 21 June and it arrived Saturday, 28 June.

Hi all, My copy arrived this past Saturday 6/28. I received an email a couple of days before that it was on the way. Guess the estimated ship date of July 21 was wrong after all. And the book is way cool! I haven't had a chance to read it but I have looked through it a bit and appears to be up to O. Richard Norton's usual high standards. And a lot of the items that were photographed were provided by list members! Mexico Doug's advice that I should email Amazon was dead on- not only did I get the discount but Amazon did ship the book promptly after my complaint. Thanks Doug!

Re: [meteorite-list] Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites now Available
Hi All, I followed Doug's suggestions and recieved a very apologetic email from Amazon. They subtracted the credit amount again so that I'll pay $25.05 whenever the book arrives. The rep advised that they are trying very hard to fill my order and if a shipment comes in they will ship a copy to me even if the estimated ship date has not arrived. I'm betting on the last week of July. Hey , maybe we can have a pool ! Best regards, Charley Well, squids don't work. Hey! Let's try elephants !

Re: [meteorite-list] Field Guide to Meteors and Meteorites now Available
Hello Charly, I have had the identical experience as you up to a certain point. Here is what I will suggest: Check your orders placed in the last 6 months (NOT in recent orders - it won't show up there). I noticed a few days ago that the pre-order discount of $1.32 disappeared as well. Must have been a software glitch caused by the delay which I bet was partly the publisher's fault. I immediately signed on, went to help and clicked on the contact us button and clicked on the email tab and sent them a form email with my order number filled in the field and some antisonant words about wasting my time with this five cent complaint where they 'lost' my preorder discount. Barely six hours later I received a personal apology (complete with a spelling mistake which actually made it more appreciated since computers don't make mistakes, right)) and a refund of $1.32. On June 19, my book was shipped by UPS and I will receive it shortly. I was provided the tracking number and see the 2.1 pound box is currently in: SECAUCUS, NJ, US 06/21/2008, after having left Bound Brook, NJ. I hope you will have a similar experience if you can click around a bit more.
