Yeah, I'd bet that significantly more goes into it than what number you are. Shipping distances and difficulties, for example.

I'm in Atlanta.  Not exactly a hard place to find.   ;)   That said, everything coming from IPR (which I think uses the same warehouse) takes at least a week.

I'm in Central Massachusetts, nearly the furthest away from the distribution site as you can get in the CONUS.

Hopefully sometime before the holiday weekend...

I'm 391 but I live in Canada. I haven't received any notification or e-mail yet (so I can't track the package), but if it has been sent at all, it is probably at the border and just sitting there (such is the way things have been for sending US packages to Canadian locales for like, years).

Don't expect it for at least another week.

Just shipped a package using USPS from Indiana to Nova Scotia and it was just under 2 weeks which was making me think the package was lost.  Freaks me out when I can ship to the UK, Germany, New Zealand and Spain in (usually) a week.

Given that folks much further away than I am are received packages last week, I was really hoping for a UPS delivery today.  Our local driver has about half an hour left on his route, and my books still aren't here, and since I'm usually on the morning half of the route, I'm guessing I won't be getting my books today.

Here's hoping for tomorrow.

Nope, that is just Canada customs.

Wait, what? Order 1922 out of 1600?

Does this mean I won't get a first edition?

I can't tell if you're serious, but no, I think you'll be ok. I've heard some other people say that they thought that the order numbers were a few hundred off. One guy said he was sure he ordered within the first 20 minuets of preorder, and he had order number 300something. So assuming orders didn't start at #1,  and 1600 is a rounded down number, you're probably at the tail end. Or you have to wait 4 more weeks for the next printing  ;D

I'm thinking I need a refund if it's not first edition on a pre-order.

I can wait till they show up on e-bay.

You don't have anything to worry about El Diablo.  I think the order number we got (1700, in my case) represented an order from the Evil Hat store, not the specific item.  In other words, when you placed your order, it was the 1922nd order the Evil Hat store processed this fiscal year, not the 1922nd Dresden Files order placed.

Anybody in northern CA get theirs yet?

I was strangely disappointed when I saw that UPS had made a delivery today (some history books I had ordered) but nothing from Evil Hat. :o

I know my preorder number is 415 - hopefully that means I'll see it Monday.

I'm in Irvine, CA and haven't gotten mine yet, I feel your pain : /
