Did anyone pre-order from WHSmith online ?
I pre-ordered, but now it looks like they aint getting stock for 2-4 weeks ! i might cancel if it looks like waiting that long, hopefully amazon still have stock of the ones in the Ltd Edition tin.

it was certainly available in our local W H Smiths today - £47.99.

I`m absolutely disgusted with WHSmith Online and will never use them again.
I ordered Band of Brothers several weeks ago and then yesterday visited Play.Com to find they were running out of stock of the tin can version. I checked on the progress of my order to see what was happening. The web site said that the supplier was out of stock. I then e-mailed Customer Services and asked whether I would be getting the tin can or cardboard version.
I had a response back saying they couldn`t guarantee which version I would get so I`ve cancelled all of my orders (£140 worth).
I had the Best Of U2 CD on order from them as well and again the "Supplier was out of stock". I`ve just been into Tesco and picked a copy off the shelf at the same price as WHSmith Online.
The moral of the story.....despite being one of the largest retailers of music and video in the country, WHSmith seem determined not to succeed online. Don`t be seduced by offers of triple card points and free delivery. It isn`t worth it!!!
