Amazon Problem
Is it just me, or is placing an order for a preorder item not working? I can place an item that's already been released into my shopping cart, but preorders never appear in my shopping cart.
Example: Last night, I attempted to place Schindler's List in my shopping cart. At that time, Schindler's List was a preorder, so it was a no go for me. However, this afternoon I was able to place Schindler's List in my shopping cart with no problem.
I'm having this problem with all my Amazon accounts - even my g/f's account and my brother's account are acting the same way.
Anyone else running into the same problem?

I was able to preorder the Jetsons Season 1 set last night without any problems. However I did add it to my cart through my STL page if that makes a difference.

On the subjects of preorders --
I've placed several items order of which some are due in a month or more , in the past Amazon used to ship out the available items as a better service even though I selected group shipping .
Has anyone else noticed this as well ?

Does this seem likely from a company that will not only send out a replacement for an order that tracking shows as delivered but even upgrades the shipping at no cost as a policy?
Granted sometimes there website does funky stuff and my orders might seem weird while waiting for them to ship, but Amazon has been nothing but awesome, in every issue I have ever contacted them about in the last 5 years.*

compared to the way they use to rush out my cash orders as items become available they sure are taking their time with this one ( 2 weeks now and still I'm not arguing that it is their right to hold it ).
I know of a guy who thinks that Amazon lied about some towels being on backorder hoping he cancels the order just because the price went up a couple of dollars.
