I placed an order to get the X-O hardcover at the great low price, but one of the other books I ordered looks like it's going to be late.

They'll ship what they have if something is late.

If you go to the "My orders" page you can see what items have been ordered, filed but not sent, and sent.

Also anything that is over 90 days late they give you your money back if you ask.

Thanks!

Nothing has shipped yet, but a couple of the books are due in tomorrow according to Diamond's release schedule, so I assume they will be shipping shortly thereafter.

The late book had a problem with the artist and was pushed back to May.

Do you get monthly or weekly?

I'm assuming it's monthly, I only ordered books for April, didn't continue ordering from them.

I'm assuming DCBS works the same way MailOrderComics does. When you check out, you specify if you want that order shipped weekly, twice monthly, or monthly. I always choose monthly and at the end of the month (or to be more accurate, the week a new Previews is released which is sometimes the end of a month and sometimes the beginning of a month, but you get the idea) they ship what has arrived that month. Anything that ships late from the publisher just goes into that month's shipment for the month it is released, whenever that is.

I hope all of that made sense.

I'm sure they probably did ask how I wanted them shipped, but I have forgotten what I would have selected. I'm assuming it probably cost more to ship weekly or twice monthly, so being the cheapskate I am, I'm sure it was monthly.

That would be great, I guess I could have had the hardcover in hand by now if I had not ordered books that came out today...

Yeah, I couldn't wait, so I went down to my shop to pick up the hardcover.

This month's DCBS shipment should be a big one.

DCBS really only deals with pre-orders. Their sister site has it though...

Thanks all

books arrived today, so I've taken my first look at the new hardcover. Now I'm trying to decide if I just want to skip ahead and read the "Lydia" story or read through the whole book from #1 first...

It was like Christmas today for me. The DHL guy and my mailman both showed up at the same time and both came up to the door and handed me a package. Boy, I spend too much money...
