Kindle 3 shipping separately from cover?
I pre-ordered my new Kindle (white 3G + Wi-Fi model) and teal blue cover (no light) this morning.
According to the mail I got back from Amazon, the cover is due to be delivered "August 31, 2010 - September 3, 2010" whereas the delivery date for the actual Kindle says "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately. You can cancel at any time." Anyone else experiencing this? |

That is bad news. I would not want to take my eink device out of the house if it didn't have a cover.

Mine too but I did them as two separate one click orders so I wouldn't expect different. I upgraded the K3 to one day shipping and kept the cover as 2 Day Prime shipping so I don't expect to get them together.
I'll make do. |

Curious, why would you upgrade the K3's shipping when they're promising release day delivery the way it is?

I'm sure plenty of folks do that. I'm just afraid to do that knowing how fragile the glass screen can be if something hits it right.

The 2 day shipping was only $4.99 USD more than the free shipping. I'm not sure why I chose the 2 day shipping since I have to wait a month anyway and a few more days wouldn't have been that much longer, but I guess I'm like a kid waiting for Xmas!

We have to pay extra for wall chargers to Australia. I have a wifi k3 on order and the charger shipped today.

@Pushka: Same here in Europe (4.99$). Do you also have crazy import fees on the lighted covers? I skipped mine for now, because 90$ of VAT+Import Fees for a 60$ accessory is kinda crazy...
I suspect there's a quirk somewhere and hope that it'll get fixed before the release... |

Yours doesn't say that? or maybe I misunderstood and you're talking about the shipping on the cover. |

That is crazy. We dont pay any import duty at all - not even on the original kindle.
