4) Wait for the various banks in France to acknowledge the transfer and move it into Bookeen's account. (This has taken between 4 and 11 days.)
5) Wait for Bookeen's shipment to arrive here - in New York. (Takes between 1-3 days.)
6) Ship and complete the processing of the CC payment. (Takes about a day.)

So it takes at least 6 days. But from the point we ask for the invoice, it can take as many as 14 days. Nearly all the delays are on the end where the money gets to France but hasn't hit Bookeen's bank.

Derek I ordered Cybook #2 last Friday when the count was already 40.

Can I expect to get mine in this (3rd) order or am I bumped to the 4th order?

Or is it 'to be determined later', ala baseball?
