I have only preordered a couple things in the past, but in both instances I received the item earlier than the indicated date, so I'm really hoping that's the case here too! It'd be great if we got them say, end of November. .
It's in, it's in! I actually got an email from my SA on Wednesday. But I'm going to the Nordstrom holiday party next week and get 10 points on purchases that day, so she's holding onto it for me and I'll purchase/pick it up next week. Can't wait!!!
