I think there is some sort of misunderstanding going on here. When you pre-order something, the date given is not the date you will get it, but the date it will ship. So if Amazon says they will release the K4T on say November 17, and they do, your pre-order ships on November 17, local stores get to sell on November 17 and you get it however long it takes to ship based on the shipping method you chose. Given the holiday, standard 5-7 days shipping will take longer. So including the 17th, 7 business days would the November 28th. There's no problem. It's just how it works. If it wasn't for Thanksgiving, the order would have arrived by November 25th.
