Nook Pre-Orders Exceeded Barnes and Noble’s Expectations

Have you pre-ordered Barnes and Noble hoping to get it shipped starting November 30? Well the good news is Barnes & Noble will ship it on that day as promised. But for new orders that will be placed starting on November 1, Barnes and Noble could no longer ship the Nook on that day but instead will start shipping them on December 7.

Barnes and Noble’s reason? You’ll see it as soon as you place your orders. According to Barnes and Noble, they did not expect that turn out of consumers who are that interested with the Nook, hence supply won’t suffice until the next wave of Nook e-book reader comes out.

So if you are keen on getting the Nook, you might want to place your order now before you get placed for the 3rd or perhaps 4th wave of shipment which will most probably be by next year already.

Dear nook Customer:

Congratulations on being among the first to order nook!

Demand for nook has exceeded all expectations and we’re really excited about the enthusiastic response. The good news is that you should expect your device to ship on or around November 30th, as previously communicated. Starting today, October 30th (12:01am ET), anyone pre-ordering a nook should expect their device to ship on or around December 7th, still well in time for the holidays.

We expect the demand to continue to be heavy through the holiday season, and we are operating strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We’re committed to updating our customers on expected nook availability and will do so through our stores, online at nook.com, and by email.

Thank you for being one of the first to order!
