Ordering copy of Book from Barnes & Noble as today’s book of the day

Post by Julie Basil »

With the book of the month being today’s book of the day, I opted to purchase and review it. The instructions specified that a copy needed to be purchased from Barnes & Noble. I placed an order online at the Barnes & Noble website and was originally given an estimated arrival date early next week and a few hours later I received an update email saying that there was a delay with the book and it would not arrive for two weeks. Did anyone else opt to purchase the book from Barnes and Noble and receive a similar message about shipping delays?

I did not have an issue with the delivery. Although I heard that the copies were somewhat limited.

I had been wanting to read this one a few weeks ago but Barnes and Noble was reporting it out of stock back then.

Thanks for the reply, they must have received a fair number of orders from Book of the Month participants.

I was surprised about the delay because it wasn’t listed as out of stock when I was ordering and they originally said it would be delivered early next week, or even as early as this Thursday if I wanted to pay for expedited shipping. Thanks for the helpful information!

Well, the website doesn't accept ATM cards from certain countries I noticed. Please do look at this as fixing it could help booster your profit margin. Cheers!!

It took me a little longer to receive this book than it has for other books I have ordered from them, but I did finally receive it.

Thanks for the update! I just received a notification today that my order has shipped, but the tracking information is not available yet. Hopefully the book will arrive soon.

My copy of the book arrived today! Originally Barnes & Noble said that it would not be here until late next week, but the delay ended up only being a couple of days after their original estimated date. I am looking forward to reading it now that I have obtained my copy and being able to participate in more of the discussion about this book.

When I placed my order, it wasn't indicated as being out of stock, and they had stated that it would arrive early the following week or even this Thursday if I wanted to pay for expedited shipping, so I was taken aback by the delay. I appreciate the useful information you provided.
