I've ordered my copy a few weeks before the UK release date. It arrived in Ontario Canada in second week of December.

Haven't had any issues with the Book Depository since I've started to use them.

Ditto for RI...I emailed them saying to send a free replacement. Also to send it using a faster carrier, but I doubt they'll do that lol.

It seems for every person who has a good experience with BD/Amazon there's another who's still waiting. :blink:

Yea they told me that if it didn't show up by Weds the 22nd I could ask for a new one...I basically said "F that, send me a new one right now" and it SHOULD be arriving around new years

Told them to put the a replacement copy in the mail and included my address with the zip code cause the first time they emailed me and asked about the address they where missing the zip code so I think that is why that mine has never shown up. I think from now on I'm going to be using amazon.co.uk

Normally, amazon.co.uk is great at this, but this go around they have been just as late with my volume as your at Book Depository. I haven't the faintest idea why, but I have emailed them to send me a new copy. As for an update, it is now December 21st and nothing came in the mail.

So I e-mailed BD's Customer Service Department on the 21st asking that they send me a replacement copy including my proper address... I understand that its the holidays and people where taking vacation but I have not yet received a reply e-mail confirming my request... If I don't hear from them soon I'm going to contact my bank and dispute the charges I've already paid for my missing in the ether copy of Stonewielder.... this is seriously beginning to damage my calm.

My copy (from Amazon.ca) actually arrived too quickly! I ordered it on Dec 29th, and got notification that it had shipped on Dec 30th. The estimated delivery date was Jan 7th, so when the doorbell rang at 11:00 in the morning on Dec 31st, I didn't jump out of bed to answer the door. When I finally hauled myself downstairs, it was just in time to see the DHL guy drive off with my book. And due to the holiday weekend, he didn't come back until the 3rd.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

It took Amazon.co.uk a good couple weeks to deliver the book. I was actually gone when it came but I don't think it was too many days over the estimated arrival date. My experiences with the Amazon.co.uk have been generally positive. I think over the years I've ordered tBH (Bantam MMPB), RG (Bantam HB), RotCG (Bantam TPB), and now SW (Bantam HB). All have arrived in good condition (which is more than I can say for other book shippers) and on time.

I haven't received my book that I ordered from The Book Depository (through Amazon.com) yet. I ordered it on Dec. 13 and the last day of the estimated delivery was Jan. 5.
I just sent them an e-mail about it. Hopefully something gets done quickly.
