I've placed an order on Amazon.com for the SR4 book a few weeks ago, and though it seems many others have received their copies, I have not. So I searched around for an online shop, and I found out that many sites aren't even getting their copies until late November!
Is there anywhere online to order the non-PDF, non-preorder (or at least a preorder that doesn't have a nebulous "4-6 weeks" date) hardback copy of SR4? |

As I and others have said in various threads, Amazon is not the way to go for any roleplaying material they are invariably 3+ weeks behind the typical FLGS.
It looks like the Studio 2 website is selling it (at least it doesn't say pre-order anymore), but their homepage says their ordering system is down through today. |

Yeah, I don't recommend amazon either. I placed an order back in August, but eventually bought it from the FLGS and cancelled the amazon order.

For some reason, i thought this was going to be a thread about in-game online retailers and using fake SINs. Damn it has been a long day...

I just ordered a softcover from them. It didn't have a picture though. Did I order something other than the 4th ed core book?

Eh, I dunno. Mine's a hardcover anyway, and it's not LE or anything.
Personally I've found amazon(.co.uk) excellent for delivering me books from Other systems, but have never even bothered trying for SR. There are lots of other small stores out there that will do you an excellent service there. |

I bought a Hardcover from FRPGames. I highly recommend them. I had some questions regarding the book and they answered them in full and in a timely manner. Very good customer service if you ask me.

Thanks Akimbo, I went ahead and made an order from them. Looks like I'm not going to get it until 11/10, though... *groans*. Oh well, it's probably better than Amazon.

I ordered from http://www.nobleknight.com they were really quick to answer questions about postage to Europe and it took 4 (FOUR) days to come from WI to London. Can only recommend them.

I've used Leisure Games quite a few times and find them to be very good. Ordered SR4 a couple of weeks ago and it arrived at my door within 48 hours.

No problem. My pleasure to be of service. Two of my friends bought their books from there as well. We've been more than satisfied with the service they provided. Thanks FRPGames for being more reliable than Amazon! |
