OK, here goes... I hope I'm explaining this properly.
I plan on purchasing the Core Rulebook, and if I understand an e-mail I recently received, I should pre-order soon to lock down a copy shipping on the release date. My difficulty is that I was also planning on ordering several other items at the same time to take advantage of the "$10 off of $100+ orders" shipping discount. Some of these items won't release until early August, much like the Core Rulebook.
The caveat with the shipping discount is that it does not apply to pre-order items. My question is, is it possible to put pre-order items in an order, and have the full order ship after the last item is released, in order to take advantage of the shipping discount? Or will I have to place my order after all items are released, get the shipping discount, and simply wait until my number in line comes up for the Core Rulebook? Or is there a third option I haven't considered yet?
Any way it works out, thanks for your time -- I know of no other company, game or otherwise, that has an outlet to help their customers maximize their dollar like this.

The system looks at an order and determines eligibility for the First 10 discount at the time the order is placed, rather than when it ships. So you will have to choose which is more important to you: getting the Core Rulebook as soon as possible by preordering, or getting a break on shipping through the First 10 discount.
Keep in mind that, upon it's release, the core Rulebook will most likely have a shipping-out estimate of 3 to 6 business days from the time you place your order. This means that, provided the other items do not hold it up, you can wait until it's released to order and still get your Core Rulebook pretty quickly. You will, however, have to deal with other people posting here about their book for a couple of weeks before you get your very own. :)
