D&D 5E Amazon and the DMG: What's the story?

[trentonjoe]

I too have Prime and received my 5e preorders from Amazon on the day.

ME too. I always thought it was because I live a mile away from an enormous Amazon warehouse. Guess I am not special....

So, confirming my earlier statement, with the DMG released Tuesday, I received mine Thursday. That's as a non-Prime member selecting "5-8 business days" for free delivery. I also ordered a Pathfinder item and a non-game book yesterday at 5:00 pm, and received notification that they already shipped 8 hours later. Of course, I think they're really cranking on shipping this month to keep up with Christmas orders.

FYI, if you order from Amazon today (Dec 12th) and put in code "BOOKDEAL25" when you check out, you get an additional 25% off any one book. That works out to about 55% of the 5e PHB, for example.

Thanks a lot for the code. I was hoping another one would pop up. Here's to hoping they contine with more codes for discounts on any book we choose.

Ordered it as "pre-order" but got an email saying we probably won't get it in France before 20th to 25th December

This was my experience as well. Quite happy with the delivery time.

Just noticed the DMG is #1 in Amazon Hot New Releases (Books).

I finally got mine two days ago and guess what: wavy paper and dented spine.

The wavy paper thing goes away. Just open the book up and let it relax for a day or so. It's caused by humidity changes slightly shrinking the paper.

The first few pages of mine are excessively wavy, and I don't think it's ever going to flatten. Too much moisture, so permanently this way.

It's hard to complain though. With the Black Friday book discount and $15 off Amazon purchases via an American Express Card deal, I got it for $7 and change, so it was practically free.
