What does Shipping Soon mean

[niko421]

I was just checking my order on Amazon.com and it says shipping soon... with an estimated delivery of Jun 30- jul 6th.... that doesn't seem soon. Is this just a gross over estimate?

as you knew if you read mason's thread...amazon hasn't received the books yet, and doesn't know when they will.

it's kinda hard, then, for them to know when soon is...
