Question for UK people

So I pre-ordered HBP on AmazonUK, and according to the website, the estimated delivery date is 15/16 July 2005. I realise of course that getting the book on the 15th is a crack dream, but I seem to recall Amazon being really good about delivering on the day itself. Am I remembering this right? Also, is next-day delivery done by courier or by post? I'm asking because the 16th is a Friday and I'm having it sent to my work address, which of course means that if it's not delivered on the 16th, I'm not getting it until the following Monday.

I have ordered mine too, just as I ordered order of the phoenix.
It was quite on time but law and behold the postman (yes, it was brought by the postman) just left it on the little balcony of my toilet window. Outside of the rain but available for anyone who wished to grab it.
(Luckely for me, no such person lives on my dead end street with 8 houses in it)
Either way I think you're going to get yours before I get mine.

The estimated delivery date is when they expect it to be in your hands, not when they expect it to leave the distribution centre.

E will be tortured: my mother's pre-ordered it from Amazon, but it'll be sent to her address in Gourock...

I pre-ordered mine last week. *bounce* The Swedish net bookstore said it would be sent out on the 15th so it would arrive at the release date (16th).

I do not know about their delivery habits. But I, in turn, was confused that they seem to offer an not-so-adult version and an adult version of the book. What is that supposed to mean? Do I get to choose between Capslock-Harry or smut now?

Post, unless you order special delivery, I think. Costs more but is faster. But last time I knew a stack of people who got them from Amazon on publication day, using standard delivery terms.

Ha! I put my name in a box at Barnes & Noble, and it will be available for me to pick up at the midnight party or the next day. Woot! Midnight party!
