How far in advance does CD Now generally put preorders up for purchase?
They are always behind the game. Anyone know how far in advance they normally put them up. I am waiting on a 12/4 release (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and I want to include it in order this week just in case they stop offerering those 15% coupons.

It seems to be completely random.
One time I asked when Monty Python and the Holy Grail SE would be added to the site (they already had the VHS listed) and the response I got was that they hadn't heard that their distributor hadn't told them that was being released. Of course it showed up the following week.

I haven't checked them recently, but I recall that they usually do preorders up to 2 months in advance.

Kind of off topic but how is CDNow in terms of shipping pre-ordered items? Two days ago I reserved a copy of Tenchi Universe Collection which is due October 9th, and I'm wondering when I should expect the package to arrive. Any of you have experience with this?

Typically, pre-orders are shipped the Friday before street date. At least, that has always been the case for me (and others on this forum).
