<--me!
Anyways, according to TFAW, they WILL ship this week (hopefully Wednesday). They said the shipment from Darkhorse arrived late. Hmmm...
I think they just couldn't handle the volume which caught them by surprise! Can't cancel my pre-order for #2, but I will order #3 from 258west which seems to have their act together!

I got mine from 258West in good time. I signed up for all nine covers, plus an extra of each three comics to read. The first three (plus 1 extra Mal) all showed up in clear plastic storage sleeves, with a thick paper liner, and were shipped in a cardboard "envelope". Granted, this is the first I've ordered from him, but I am pleased so far!

I complained to TFAW and they offered to cancel the shipment that is due to be sent out tomorrow
(yeah, THAT would be a BIG help!)
but I cannot cancel my pre-orders for the future items...
I really think they suck big time and I wish I had ordered through someone else.
If they delay tomorrow's shipment for any reason at all then I'm going to complain to BBB and make sure that TFAW knows I will cancel any payments they try to put through my credit card, so they'll be forced to cancel my pre-orders.
I've never had this problem with Marvel
eta: do you think I'm too angry?
If the shipment goes out I'll be willing to let by gones be by gones

Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and see what comes back. I'm on my last night in San Diego before heading back to NorCal (no, wasn't here for ComicCon) and I have no transportation, but does anyone know if there's a comic book store in downtown or the Gaslamp district. Is there an SD Browncoat who can score a copy and get it to me at the hotel I'm at? I'd love to read it on the flight home. Worse comes to worse, I'll just pick it up when I get back to the Silicon Gulch.

I ordered my comics through 258 West and he put them in the mail last Wednesday but I am having them shipped media mail, so they will take longer than first class or priority mail and 258 West is in New York while I am in Los Angeles, so they have to cross the country.

I can't believe it, got a mail from TFAW yesterday that they actually shipped my first order! Only 10 days late, maybe it will arrive by the time the secound ones are due

Thanks for the good comments all. Unlike a lot of comic places I saw the demand for serenity comics coming a mile away. Most places ordered like 10 or 12 copies ( total ) I ordered 3000. I also see a huge spike in demand after the movie comes out as well.
I am still working on shiping out more orders by the way so those who havnt got theirs yet, dont worry they are on the way and will be 1st prints to. Not 2nd printings most places who are restocking will be getting.
By the way, I just got Ron Glass to agree to sign 258 copies of the comic. ( woot )

If they screw us with issue #2 like they did with #1, then I'll know TFAW is being run by ex-FOX executives!
