Maybe the out of stock message was probably something required for preorders that take longer than a month. Otherwise, if the buyer doesn't click something to confirm that they still want the item, the credit card companies would have issues with the charges.
Oh, well, a $100 gift card would have been so nice.  |
You're very close.
That "click yes if you still want it" notice is required by Federal Trade Commission rules intended to protect consumers in instances where the availability date of a pre-ordered product is changed.
It's intended to protect consumers by ensuring the product is still desired and to give consumers an "out" in the event that they are no longer interested in waiting and as such requires a positive action (opt-in) by the consumer as the rule requires retailers to assume that no response to the notification is, by default, indicative of a consumer's desire not to proceed with the purchase.
Incidentally...
The 30-days-from-now date that appear after clicking "I still want this" isn't showing your order has been delayed to that date, but rather that B&N has permission to conclude the sale up tol that date before they would have to request permission again.
