I agree, Charlie..that's ridiculous to ask people to wait that long for the boxed set. I hope this doesn't hurt sales...

Agreed - I even called Amazon customer service to see if it was a typo - I thought maybe they meant to post "4-6 DAYS" not "4-6 WEEKS".
The lady said that was the correct estimate, that it was a very "high" demand item. She said they ran out, received more and those ran out. They have now ordered more....
I would hope they could get more in in less than 4-6 weeks!
It will definately affect sales on Amazon (imho).

Any idea who does have more in stock online right now, Charlie??? I don't need any more copies right now (have already bought 5 copies..LOL!!!), but maybe someone else out there is looking for it and they don't want to wait 4 to 6 weeks...I was hoping that was a typo as well...our copy from Amazon just came in today...they didn't ship it until 2 days after release date..I would have thought they would do better than that!!!

Becky - The Barnes & Noble site looks like they have some. It says "Usually Ships in 24 hours" - so I think they have it.

Otherwise all I have seen is "back ordered" on other sites...

I like the "high damand item" bit- they are probably busy filling the cack orders that they have already- I don't necessarily think it is a "bad thing". Dying to know where it came in on the Billboard chart.

Me too

(Just hope the presses are going full speed!).
Billboard usually gives a preview of sales tomorrow sometime in their "news" section.

I personally am considering not ordering from Amazon again. I had a pre-order for These Days and when I found out that I wouldn't get it until after it was in the stores,I canceled my order. Well, they sent it. That was o.k. but then I went in to put a review on their site and was told my account didn't exist. I sent them an e-mail and told them I had to set another account up because they wouldn't get me into the one I had and was told I would have to place another order before I could do a review. Then they sent me another e-mail stating that they found 6 accounts with my e-mail address and all had different passwords. Reason being each time I have ordered from them I had to set up a new account and a different password. I save my passwords in special folders for each site I order from. Now what is going on with Amazon ?

Sorry to hear that Anna.
I use Amazon all the time and never have a problem - you do have a lot of other options though.
I like them for the low cost on their books and most CD's (plus shipping is free). But if I had your issues I might go elsewhere too.

Good luck.
