It's certainly not cool that this happened to you, IcemanII, but obviously there's a certain demand on preorders and they had to find some way to prioritize that limited first allotment.
By that token, the folks that paid the extra money for Prime probably got the nod over the "regular folks."
I'm not sure what other criteria they could have/might have used. Obviously it wasn't just based on how far back you preordered it.
Sorry.
At least you found out this way vs. seeing an email by the end of that business week where you suddenly find out you have another week or so to wait while you had been wondering when the goods were going to show up.
People that choose Super Saver Shipping get screwed outright. It's happened to me plenty of times in the past. Your order is deliberately put way on the back burner even if an item says "in stock and ready to ship."
