I preordered 2 gift sets on June 1st and they were just delayed with a new estimated arrival date of 6/10 - 6/13. I preordered 5 gift sets on April 1st, and they were just delayed with a new estimated arrival date of 6/18 - 6/26. I'm not pleased. Barnes and Noble just gained a new customer.
Amazon delay notice :(

Me Too!
I ordered the gift set a while ago and I'm delayed too. The common thread among people that have had theirs shipped is that they paid for more expensive shipping (2-day, next-day, Amazon Prime customers), at least that's what it seems like. Since I went for "slightly faster than free" shipping, I think I got hosed.
My update email says it'll be arriving 6/19 - 7/01.
So, I went ahead and printed the 20% off coupon from Borders and went and got a copy of the PHB to tide me over (last copy!). The PDFs were just annoying at best.

Canceled my order and went to FLGS. Played in Worldwide D&D day, and got my books (not the gift set) for 25% off (or 25 a book). Slightly more expensive, but I'll be playing before July.

AZRogue said:I got the exact same email. Unfortunately, the local Borders and Barnes and Noble are both sold out so I need to go across town for a temp. player's handbook. But it has to be done, so no use whining.
I got the same BS e-mail today. Its really my own fault, I stopped pre-ordering video games from them because they could never ship my video games on time. I guess their incompetence is more systemic than I originally thought.

So far the status of my order is still unshipped... I'm pretty upset about it at this point. It seems to me that the shipping delay is probably on Wizards' end.

Well my order had recently showed a ship date of August 25th but just today I received a ship notice via email. The set should arrive on June 19th. I am not sure what changed but I am not going to complain.
I still have NO idea how they determine to whom and when items get queued for shipping.
OH BTW for the records I used the 'super-saver' free shipping option when I pre-ordered.
