Alright, I know I've seen an explanation for this somewhere, but I can't remember where and couldn't find it through searching.
So, I'm planning on ordering some books (well, quite a few, actually), two of which are preorders (the Princes of Darkness and the Bestiary). They're noted as preorders for October, but says expected in November during checkout.
I don't quite remember the explanation, whether it was expected shipping date, expected arrival date, or expected arrival date in stores (or something else). The point is that I originally planned to place all orders to ship with the preordered items to save money on shipping (which totalled a difference of about $20 - a couple of Companions or a Chronicles issue). I can wait until a while into October for sure, but waiting until November and saving twenty bucks suddenly isn't worth as much. Just want a little clarification on how it works.
Thanks.

This is, in fact, a bug in the display. The date that matters to you, as a subscriber and someone who is purchasing directly from Paizo.com, is October.
The system is looking at the street date of the books for some reason. This is the date that the books will be available at retail, but we will start shipping our customers' orders in October.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be fixing this display bug soon.
Thanks,

No problem. Thanks for the clarification.
