The release date for Amazonas is 31. October,
so they will start to ship the game that day.
So if you're estimated delivery time is 5 days,
you receive your copy on 5. November. Got it?

Sorry, but you got it wrong. The 5th was just
an example.

Let me explain...

The item page for Civ III BTE @ Amazon.com
states following info:

This item will be released on October 31, 2001. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives.

Now, if I understand correctly, you have ordered
the item to UK, right? In that case, the shipping times
for Europe are following (depending of type of delivery; check
your A.com profile for details)...

Priority International Courier
2 to 4 Business Days

Expedited International Shipping
5 to 10 Business Days

Standard International Shipping
11 to 18 Business Days

And if USA, then...

UPS Next Day Air
1 Business Day

UPS Second Day Air
2 Business Days

Standard Shipping
3 to 7 Business Days

Please note that if you have ordered other
items, this might delay the shipment's arrival
(refering to the help section of A.com).

I have preordered my BTE to Finland with
expedited shipment, so I should receive my
copy on 5.-10.11.

Or, if you check the other thread 'Amazon.com now say they will not ship outside U.S.', you'll see that they have changed the details on the page to say this, and a guy who emailed to check his order that he placed before the change, got a mail saying they will not now send it to him
