D&D 5E Tasha’s Cauldron Delayed Outside North America

The product page for the upcoming D&D book now indicates that COVID has delayed shipping outside North America.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything releases on November 17, 2020.

Due to shipping complications related to COVID-19, the physical book release of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything in Europe and APAC ONLY has been delayed to December 1, 2020. Thanks for your understanding! To reiterate, this delay is only for the Europe/APAC releases, and the launch of the book in North America is not impacted at all.

What's the meaning of APAC? Does this affect amazon? (I can only buy in amazon since there are not official dealers in my country)
Edit: I looked what's APAC and seems that amazon is not affected. Finger crossed.

I had to look it up too.

APAC: Asia-PACific. Quiet a common term in business relations.
Since I don't care as much for the physical books, I am satisfied if DnD Beyonds has a digital version available on Nov 17, 2020.

Since multiple people have mentioned they had to look it up but didn't say what it actually is, it is probably worth saying that it stands for "Asia Pacific"

Quelle horreur!

My heart skipped a beat there.

I realise that the vast majority of WotC customers are in North America, Europe and Asia/Pacific, but it is still somehow vaguely irritating to have two whole (populated) continents just ignored. There are D&D customers in South America and Africa too.

And Antarctica!

Fewer hobbiest stores there however.

But seriously, your SA distributor either gets their goods from APAC or from NA (probably NA). And African distributors from EU or APAC.

They are basically the names of distribution chains.

The level of English isn't enough to dare original books in naive English. They aren't good markets, not enough players.
