So the stock is now advertised, we know it is with them, but 4-6 weeks shipping...? How not to do business.

Hi Judy, just to let you know that Amazon have advised that my copy was shipped yesterday. Thanks again for your efforts to get this matter resolved. Nick.

This may or may not prove useful to others, but I just received vol 3 of BC/RS today. I bought it Dec 23 on eBay as "Buy It Now" from Pace Hobbies at a great price - US$51.75 (shipping extra). Unfortunately, there isn't another copy listed on his eBay store, but it might be worth asking him if he has another copy at that price.

I have still yet to hear any good news about my copy. My local bookstore has informed me that their supplier has yet to receive any copies for distribution. I missed out on Vol.1 due to this reason and I'll be stuffed if I miss out on Vol.3 due to dodgy shipping and supply. Any info from either Christer or Judy would be very much appreciated

P.S. - I am not a resident of a major city - I live in country Australia.

I got my copy through Amazon.com and they actually delivered sooner then they said they would.

Hello Adam;
Don't know what you mean when you say "...dodby shipping and supply." We can only ship to distributors when they place an order. Currently all BCRS#3 orders placed by distributors have been shipped. You might inquire of your book store as to who is their supplier. Then privately let me know who that might be and I can put a cattle prod on them...okay?
Don't worry, you won't miss out on #3, I'll personally see to that. Just let me know the details and I'll take care of it. I appreciate you supporting your local bookstore.

Judy

Have just sent a PM with the details
