This is a new feature of their preorder system. They are giving warnings, in case you are using a debit card or something, I guess.
It probably helps cut down after-the-fact cancellations.
Right - I'm sure their systems will process things faster if there are fewer operations to do.
Not quite what I meant.
BBTS allows for cancellations of preorders up to 2 weeks AFTER the items arrive. I suspect they get a lot of people that forgot they preorder stuff, and then cancel it.
That can play hell with an inventory management system. Then they have to process the returns, refund the credit cards.
By notifying people that stuff is coming, they have a chance to cancel before it comes in if they changed their minds. That is a lot easier on the retailer.
