Harry Potter pre-orders delivered on (or near) release date
WAIT! I Interrupt this shameless plug to make this shameless appeal! It's getting to be the the last days to pre-order your very own copy of the next Harry Potter book on release date (see new shipping details). I originally posted this back in February and several people expressed interest, and a few actually ordered (Of course I can't tell who ordered and who didn't all I know is that a few folks placed orders.) NOW IS THE TIME if you want to order this book and support oes.org at the same time. Thanks! (We now return you to your regularly scheduled shameless plug) This book won't be released untill July 16th, and will list for $29.99 ($30 bucks for a Novel?) <center>BUT WAIT !!!</center> Amazon.com is taking pre-orders at the price of $17.99!!! That's 40% off the cover price! And they should ship on the earliest date possible. So instead of standing in line at Barnes and Noble or Borders or Books a Million or D. Dalton or Waldenbooks or Royal Booksellers or Wal-Mart, it will come straight to your door. Amazon says: Quote: Availability: Pre-order this item now and we will make sure it arrives on or just after the release date of July 16, 2005 Also, if you click on this link and you put the book into your shopping cart, (and of course, buy it) oes.org will receive a small commision on your purchase! Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) by J K Rowling, Mary GrandPre (Preorder: Ship date July 16, 2005) "How much is shipping going to cost me?", you ask. Quote: Eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. See details. So let's recap: You get the book you want, for all your friends who want it, you get it on or very close to the release date, you get it for 40% off, you get free shipping (see those details) and oes.org gets a commission. NEW SHIPPING DETAILS (From the Amazon.com website): Quote: Shipping Options:
Select Standard Shipping and order by July 11 for guaranteed delivery on the release date of Saturday, July 16, or we will refund the cost of your book. See details. Select FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25 and you will receive your order after the release date of Saturday, July 16. See details. Life doesn't get any better than this. Thanks for letting me barge in on this otherwise commercial free topic. We now return you to your regularly scheduled chatter. -Ron. PS Here's the link again, just in case you forgot where to click!

It's 15.99 on overstock AND they always have 1-2 dollar shipping!

| Ok, that appears to be true.
Some things to consider: 1) I hate the thought of oes.org members paying too much for something. 2) Oversotck.com is charging $1.40 for shipping, making them 60 cents cheaper than Amazon.com. 3) Overstock will charge your credit card immediately, while Amazon will charge you when the item is shipped. 4) Amazon has a track record of delivering millions of Harry Potter books on time on release day, I don't know abbout Overstock's track record or ability to ship. 5) oes.org doesn't get a commision from Overstock, and even if I signed up with Overstock (which I might someday,) the commission is less than half of what Amazon.com pays. 6)I wasn't aware that there was a better deal out there, and everyone is certainly entitled to do what is best for themselves. |
Ahh.. my bad! 
I missed the part where oes.org gets a commission if it's through amazon.com. I was glad to hear about the HP update! I thought you were just excited about the book, as I am, and just wanted to make sure everyone had their copy as soon as possible. |
That is great Ron, I'll definitely preorder our copy. Last time I didn't preorder and thought it would be fun to head out to the bookstore for the big Harry Potter party and get our book at the same time. My three kids and I ended up staying at the bookstore until 3 am and finally purchased the book, my kids actually had a great time, we were provided free coffee drinks while we waited, and you've never seen such wired up kids!! I'm not up for a repeat of that again

| Now I feel guilty for depriving you of that fun time!!!
Maybe you could hang around for the party for a little bit, like til just after midnight, then go home, get a good night's sleep , and wake up to the package on the front door! (OK, UPS might not deliver to a house till late afternoon....) |
| I like the idea of getting a good night's sleep, what's really twisted is my oldest daughter actually started to read the book when we got home! That was one of the longest nights of my life! |
| Ron, is there a location on the Forum where there are links to all of the vendors that provide commission? I can never remember how to link to OES when I order a book from Amazon.
Thanks! Sue |
| We preordered since the first day to help oes.org.
Anybody knows where can I send Danita for a few days so I can steal her book? |

Thanks! Sue No, THANK YOU, Sue! There's this location: http://forum.oes.org/viewtopic.php?p=26847 Please read the story! It's profitable to both of us!
You could download the Alexa Toolbar (located at the bottom of the front page for www.oes.org ) that has a button on it to go to Amazon.com, that will credit oes.org with anything you buy, at the "base rate" (See the story in that other link). Otherwise, you can just click on any amazon.com link that I've posted in the forum, like this one: This is Not a Joke Doormat and oes.org will also be credited at the base rate (unless you buy the doormat! That would be base rate + 50% ! (read that other story!)) I know it sounds a little complicated, but I really really do appreciate the consideration... in the last 6 months, Amazon commissions have been about $80 -- that's a big help towards the costs of running OES. Thanks! |
| The shipping details have been updated in the Original Post. |
| I want to preorder it, but I have no clue where I'll be! My hubby leaves for Guam on the 20th, and the boys & I are supposed to stay over ILs house. They're on vacation right now, so I can't call them (cruise). I don't know if it'll be okay to bring the kitten with us, boarding isn't an option, so we may be home. I'd hate to order it and have it shipped here only to have it sit 3 weeks...or send it to ILs, where I might never see it! lol |
| Ron: Master of the Universe.......please make a Sticky for the odering info that give OES.org a few sheckles ordering thru Amazon. I'm actually starting to think about holiday gifts.......groan.
