RE: Preorders on Amazon and free super saver shipping.?

I ordered 3 things on Amazon today. 2 are in stock and 1 is a preorder on a book. Despite the fact that there are 2 "items in stock and ready to be shipped", it appears they will hold the entire order until the preordered book ultimately becomes available?!? Is that right? Or will they carve out the 2 items and send them now? If the intention is to hold them (until MAY) can I unorder the preorder to have them ship the other two items? Please advise.

  1. yeahhh yeahh suree suree
  2. If you've ordered all three from one seller (I assume Amazon itself, not a marketplace vendor), and it's only eligible for super saver with the combined total then they will probably wait until all are available. If the others are eligible on their own they should send them before the pre-order comes out. Your options are to either change the delivery on the two available items to standard or cancel the order and re-order them all separately (or the two available items in one order and the pre-order in a separate one). If you're unsure I'd send an email to Amazon asking them what's going happen.
  3. if you choosed on free super saver shipping your order is grouped in to few shipment as possible so if there is any item that is not available or for pre-order it will hold the delivery of the package. it is better if you just cancel the pre-order item and place it as a new order. you are always welcome to make some changes on the order until the item hasen't ship yet.
  4. they will send you what they have, and you will get an email notifying you when the last item will be shipped. You won't be charged extra shipping costs. You will even be notified of the exact day it shipped and the shipper number.
  5. per amazon.com: When you choose the option to "group my items into as few shipments as possible," we make every effort to comply with your request. This option must also be selected in order to qualify for our Free Super Saver Shipping method. Our shipment and delivery estimates are based on a combination of factors: where we have inventory, the delivery address you provided, and how quickly we can obtain and assemble your order. Our website clearly states that if you choose Super Saver Shipping, you can expect your order to take 3 to 5 business days longer to ship than when you choose standard shipping; this time is calculated from the time you place your order until the time it arrives, and can occur at various steps of the fulfillment process. In order to fill your order as quickly and efficiently as possible, we may sometimes split your order into multiple shipments so we can take advantage of items in stock at different fulfillment centers. As noted on our web site (http://www.amazon.com/supersavershipping), to qualify for free Super Saver Shipping you must choose the option to "Group my items into as few shipments as possible" when placing the order. If you change this option at any time or request a partial shipment of the items in your order, this will invalidate the free shipping, as your order will no longer meet all of the eligibility requirements. For this reason, if you visit Your Account to change the shipping option on an order, we display the following message: "If you qualified for any of our free shipping promotions, please note that changing your shipping option might affect your order's eligibility."
