I'm in the same boat. I went to a comic book store yesterday and bought it anyway, then got online and found that there was no cancelling any of the three issues from TFAW. Oh, well. The guy at the store (the day after stores had it) was surprised. He said TFAW is usually ahead of them--which is why I ordered online. Maybe more of that patented unprecedented fan responese.

But I couldn't wait till next week; there was translating to be a-attempin!

this is really annoying, I pre-ordered w/tfaw too and haven't gotten mine yet either...
they are supposed to be Dark Horses' "official" online seller, but they are really not doing good with this comic...
we should have had them the same day as the comic book stores (I'm thinking of writing angry letters now...grrrr argh).

Oh, I'd forgotten that bit of info. Very annoying. Everyone being delayed a week is one thing, but not having them when retailers do--while being an official reseller--is pretty bad. If I could have, I would have cancelled my other TFAW Serenity pre-orders.

I preordered June 27th with tfaw and I was pending until yesterday now it also claims to be shipped, yeah! Well, I won't hold my breath. Something is odd, though. I copy it here, check thisut:

Title Est. Release Date Status
Serenity #3 (of 3) (Yu Cover) 09/07/2005 Pending
Serenity #2 (of 3) (Chen Cover) 08/03/2005 Pending
Serenity #1 (of 3) (Hitch Cover) 07/20/2005 Shipping week of 07/13/2005
Serenity #3 (of 3) (Phillips Cover) 09/07/2005 Pending
Serenity #2 (of 3) (Quesada Cover) 08/03/2005 Pending
Serenity #2 (of 3) (Bradstreet Cover) 08/03/2005 Pending
Serenity #1 (of 3) (Cassaday Cover) 07/20/2005 Shipping week of 07/13/2005
Serenity #1 (of 3) (Jones Cover) 07/20/2005 Shipping week of 07/13/2005
Serenity #3 (of 3) (Middleton Cover) 09/07/2005 Pending

The shipping and release dates for the first comic are weird. Any explanation? Maybe we will get the comics on the 20th

I ordered my copy of Serenity #1 in advance from Midtown Comics, which is a chain of comic stores in Manhattan. They ship to their customers via UPS Ground. It arrived this morning (Friday), even before the fricking rest of my mail arrived!

So, obviously I was very happy. I do live in New York City, so that might explain the quickness.

BUT, they also ship to addresses throughout the United States, so you might try their website if your local store is not stocked:

Hope things work out well, it's definitely worth the trouble.

I'm getting VERY frustrated, last week TFAW stated that my comics were mailed the week of July 13th...
NOW they claim they are to be mailed the week of July 20th!!!!!
WTF?
Has anyone gotten a shipment from TFAW yet?

I've written to complain to them and to Dark Horse, because I can tell you that Marvel always got my Astonishing X-men comics to me on the day they arrived in stores.

Two of our members at our Firefly meetup this past weekend said that their orders are showing "delayed". I walked into the comic store next door to the place where we met, and lo & behold there sat a pile of Serenity #1s in all three covers. They each picked up one of each cover and left to cancel their orders.

Nope, my status is also claiming that it ships the week of 7/20 (changed from 7/13 as seen in my previous post) and I am not happy with the way they are handeling the whole situation.
