Amazon would not be in business if Tippy or David from Betts worked there. Either that or they both would have been fired the first day. I can hear the supervisor yelling at them now - saying You used 400 boxes of padding on just 1 book. and it took you an hour to pack! You have 5000 more orders before you can go home!Exactly why I rarely buy hardcover books from Amazon anymore. It's pretty much guaranteed they'll arrive all dinged up.I ordered two books and a Blu-Ray from Amazon recently. They all came in the same box with only one air cushion and it wasn't even inflated.

I had two orders come in last week, both in padded envelopes, and inside each one of them was a single flattened styrofoam peanut. WTH use is that.Originally Posted by Ricky

Unfortunately the majority of people who buy books from Amazon don't really care. They're not after collectibles, they're just reading the book and shoving them on a shelf or trading them in at a used book store. So Amazon doesn't really have a lot of incentive to care.when iread this, the 'Debbie Downer' horn sound played in my head so I had to share:I ordered two books and a Blu-Ray from Amazon recently.

i hate the way Amazon ships new releases so i tend to get books from VJ Books, i recently got a signed first edition of Malorie by Josh Malerman, , had a brodart mylar cover , the signature was a special tipped in page, and the books was in a box full of bubble wrap and foam popcorn. That is how i want a newrelease sent to me, not in a oversized box full of air or a barely padded envelope, eveything i get from Amazon gets dinged to death!
Cemetery Dance has always shipped books ectremly protected, I order all my PS books from CD for cheaper shipping and better packing, It is worth the wait
My all-time "winner" from Amazon was when a 24 X 24 X 20 box arrived... with ONE air cushion and one book shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard... And oddly enough, the book was fine!! And my cats loved the box, so everyone got something that day!

I think I’ve already mentioned that time I received two hardcover novels in a box from Amazon. That’s it. One book stacked on top of the other in a cardboard box. No air cushions, packing peanuts or packaging at all.
Miraculously, the books survived almost unscathed. But it was still a bit of a shock.

Bringing it back to Cemetery Dance--what's shipping, Dan?? I got Informed Delivery and a label was created. A LABEL WAS CREATED!!!!
Midnight Under the Bigtop is shipping this week. You guys may get notices significantly before your book ships though. I forgot to order shipping supplies on Friday so Brady in the warehouse has been spending this morning running labels ahead of time while he waits for the supplies to get here later today.
Well that's fantastic! This is going to be an incredible anthology. I assumed it was either MUTBT or Night Shift. Either way I'm thrilled.Midnight Under the Bigtop is shipping this week.

No pub date on NS yet (unless it snuck by me).

Nice! Been looking forward to this one. This is actually pretty fast delivery for CD based on announcement. Are things starting to move along better there now? Hopefully!Midnight Under the Bigtop is shipping this week. You guys may get notices significantly before your book ships though.

Got the HOME STRETCH HAVE YOU MOVED email for NS on August 6th. At that time, cases were just beginning into production so shipping is still a ways off. But I thought maybe something amazing happened and sped things along. Still, it's so close I can smell the corn!No pub date on NS yet (unless it snuck by me).
Yeah cases are still a long way off. They're in production now, but the case maker has a much longer than usual turnaround time right now.Got the HOME STRETCH HAVE YOU MOVED email for NS on August 6th.

Ehh hard to say, this one has been at the printer functionally since it was announced. Which is still a really long turnaround time for the printer. Though it doesn't help that it had all sorts of problems at the printer.Nice! Been looking forward to this one. This is actually pretty fast delivery for CD based on announcement.

FYI, CD's production updates page was updated yesterday, for anyone who might want to take a look (no news on Night Shift, but there's lots there).

Apropos of nothing, but I know some aspiring authors, and rest assured, if any of them "make it" and ever dilly-dally over signing anything, I will apply a special blend of psychology and extreme violence.

Hi there Brian and/or Dan! Any update on shipping of August's title for the 12 month book club? Thanks so much.
I'm sure Night Shift has to be pretty close by now. Since the books are done and they've been working on the slipcases for a little while now. Late September or October is my guess.
Or I should say my hope...
It was hell's season, and the air smelled of burning children
With the exception of one book, all the other ones I preordered are close to being completed.

Fright or Flight Letter is the one I really am after..... I was always intrigued by the comments the CD team made about the direction of it. I hope it doesn't take to much longer

This should have shipped last week. Feel free to email me and I can look up your order.
October would be awesome, but unless the case maker really ramps up production there's no way that's going to happen. Trying to temper people's expectations here, the casemaking company is very very backlogged. At this point I'll just be happy if we have the cases and get NS shipped by the end of the year. I know my storage space would be happy to have that space cleared up too.I'm sure Night Shift has to be pretty close by now.

I didn't get a shipping notice either. Last one was July. I'll email you too.This should have shipped last week. Feel free to email me and I can look up your order.
