amazon hasn't shipped my copy of WaT yet, should I be worried?

[king of nowhere]

pretty much as the title says.

I ordered my copy of wind and truth on december 8 with amazon. i didn't get premium shipping because i figured, getting the book a few days later wouldn't be an issue.

a couple weeks ago i checked my amazon account and found a notification that my order was delayed, and they were asking me if i still wanted it sent, or if i would rather cancel it. i confirmed to send it. since then i'm checking regularly, my order still results as not yet shipped.

do other people experience similar delays? at which point should i try to contact the customer service?

This thread shows that some people received mis-assembled books. I wonder if they had to return a bunch to the distributor for errors like this, and that may be causing fulfillment delays.

Your answer is probably more accurate, but I once ordered a book that got delayed and delayed and delayed... I eventually was listening to the news, and heard about that big ship crashing through a bridge in... Baltimore?... and when I checked Amazon again, guess where it said it was shipping from? I don't know where it's coming from for you, but if it were coming from California, I wouldn't be surprised if all the fires going on there are disrupting supply chains going out from that area.

It was delayed well before the fires, but i see the point

Just one of those annoying delays that happens sometimes, especially with bigger orders. I wouldn’t worry too much yet.

Post Necromancy;

• Refers to reviving an inactive and out of date topic without a legitimate reason. If you wish to continue the discussion please make a new post.
• Generally speaking, a post is considered a necro if it’s been about a year since the last post.
• Forum games are okay to revive, and so are Roleplays if the person reviving it was active in that RP originally. 
• If you aren’t sure whether to revive a topic or make a new one, please contact a moderator. 
• Legitimate reasons for reviving a post could include;
  • New information has been released that directly relates to the central theory being discussed and creation of a new topic would not substantially differ from continuation of the original post.
  • Continuation of a forum game or roleplay
  • The topic in question is specifically meant to be ongoing (eg. Typo threads)
• Many old topics have been locked to prevent thread necro’ing--if you believe a thread should be reopened, please contact a moderator.

Hope that helps
