Thanks for the info!  I ordered mine EARLY this morning and have a 12/11 ship date.  At least my husband's Christmas shopping for me this year is already done

[MacGyverDXS]

Ordered mine tonight.  Got a December 11th ship date.

Yes, I confirmed this with a B&N store assistant manager tonight.  Early pre-orders ship the 30th.  Last week's pre-orders ship 12/7.  Pre-orders made now will ship 12/11.  For those delaying to pre-order until you see the demo nook in your local store (if your local store isn't one of the ~100 that will have a kiosk and actually sell the nook) in late-November, pre-orders then may not ship until after Christmas, at this rate.  Right now it's 11/6, and 24 days before the nook is officially released, and pre-orders now will go out only two weeks before Christmas.  Just something to consider...

Ordered mine yesterday.  Got the December 11th shipping date.  Hopefully this gets here before Christmas eve!

I ordered today.. And it was a ship date of 12/11..

I spoke with my local B&N store that said they will have a demo on November 30th but no units in store to sell.  He wanted to let me know that no store within a 75 mile radius would have units available for sale. Also, he said if I order it online now, the ship out date would be December 11th?  Is this correct?  Is preorder demand this high?  If so, if I delay any longer, will I be shut out getting the unit by Christmas?

I ordered mine on October 27 my ship date is November 30.

[MacGyverDXS]

Just ordered mine (really would have preferred picking one up in a store, however after calling all the B&N stores in San Antonio, I was told stock in store would probably not be a reality this year).  Ship date for me is the 11th of December.  Hopefully there are no delays in shipment cause after the 18th of December I won't be in town. 

[want2know]

I wonder why mine was 12/15.  I am a B&N member so that shouldn't matter.  Hmmmmm

[theluckiest]

k please dont kill me. i know im so dumb, but if my ship date is nov. 30th will it ARRIVE that day, or ship from the warehouse that day??

[purple2381]

I ordered mine on 10/28.  On the 30th, I had gotten an e-mail from b&n stating that due to the responses, anyone ordering after the 30th wouldn't be shipped till the 5th of December.  So obviously, there are still lots of people ordering!

[VenturaBumm]

Just ordered mine.. I got 12/11.

[want2know]

The Ship date is now  December 15.  I just ordered one about 1 hour ago.

BlueMeanie -

Chances are, the store wouldn't have a stock to sell you (they'll probably only have demo units at first). If you waited until Nov. 30th to go in-store, you would just have to order one and get in line behind everyone who has pre-ordered, probably pushing it off past Dec. 11.

[nookieJH]

i'm guessing they are already on back order, given the later shipping date.  You can always cancel your pre-order and just go to a B&N store if that waht you want to do. 

[BlueMeanie465]

Okay, I just pre-ordered my nook online, and when I checked the status it's saying it won't be shipped out until Dec. 11!  Why so late?? I would have just gone into a store to buy it if I knew I'd have to wait an extra week and a half. Funny this is, my nook cover is being shipped out on the 30th instead. GRR!

Kevin: You are welcome I did not catch it the first time I read it. I just wanted to make sure Dave was not disappointed.

Thanks, Astoria ... Dave wrote Nov. 2, but I read Dec. 2 (knowing that nook does not ship until late November). Thanks for catching it!

it looks like you will not be able to have your nook for your trip Dave. You are going on your trip Nov 2 and the Nook is being shipped on Nov 30.

I would like more info on the shipping also. It may be easier and faster to go to a B&N and pick up a Nook there.
