I'm not that familiar with retailer terms unfortunately. What do you mean that they have already shipped but people will not receive it yet?

Well they stager the shipping, basically they would have ordered say 50,000 copies (or however many their allowed to order).

Then they would have packed them all probably Sunday and left them in postal bags until this morning. Then the trucks will come pick a certain amount today (it goes by the order date) at 3:00pm and take them to the post office, and the same tomorrow and then all of the rest should go on Wednesday.

So some people will be getting it tomorrow some the next day and so on.

Does that help? (Sorry just got in from work and my brain is a bit fried so i might not be explaining the best!)

Thats what mine says, but I'm guessing based upon what others have said that it will ship on Wedsday with Thurs/Fri delivery.

My current theory is that because when I ordered There Will Be Blood, it actually originally pointed to Delivery on June 6th with 1 day shipping. It only changed the day before the release stating that its shipping and arriving on the 3rd of June.

I hope that eases your worries some because I am in the exact same boat as you and worried as well.
