    | Advance Orders 
 US customers may order most domestic music titles up to four weeks before the actual
    release date, and receive them on the same day they hit the stores. (US addresses with
    FedEx overnight upgrade only)**
 
 The process is simple: Select the Advance Order album as if it were already available, by
    Friday at 9:00AM Eastern Time before the album's Tuesday release date.
 
 Any additional items that are included in your order will not be shipped until the Advance
    Order album is released. If you wish to have the available titles shipped immediately,
    please place a separate order for the Advance Order titles. Although they are shipped
    separately, imports, music videos, DVDs, T-shirts and movies will also be held up by the
    advance
 order item.
 
 Because of last-minute music industry rescheduling, Advance Order release dates are
    subject to change without notice. However, in most cases your Advance Order will arrive on
    the date listed on our Advance Order pages and the artist's discography page.
 
 In rare circumstances a new release may sell out on the first day. Or, the supplier may be
    a day or two late in delivering the product to our shipping center (the product must be
    received by the shipping center on Friday in order to be shipped to arrive on Tuesday). In
    these cases, the item will be placed on backorder and shipped at no extra cost when
    available.
 
 Please note that we are unable to guarantee the availability of limited edition advance
    order titles, because they are produced in such limited quantities.
 
 **To ensure delivery on the date of an album's release, please select the Federal Express
    shipping upgrade option. Only Tuesday release dates are eligible for this service. All
    orders that are shipped via regular mail will not be received on the release
 date.
