I would like to order the 25 dollar package, but I also don't want to wait forever for it to arrive after the cd is released in stores. Does anyone understand what I mean? I know that they probably won't ship the packages until closer to the release date of the cd, but I live in Canada and I wouldn't want my cd package to not arrive until July 8th or something.

Sorry for rambling, but basically for people who have preordered music before, how close to the store release date did you receive your order?

So, basically your asking if you order the package will it arrive on or shortly after the release date?  June 8th, to the following week?

Good question. 

Just a guess here, but i'm sure you'll get digital downloads of the album in a few weeks. and i'd be willing to bet they start sending out the album at the end of May so that they arrive on its release date....thats what they did with The Walk. 

I've pre-ordered cds from here before in the past such as Underneath, the Walk, ect. I've always gotten mine the day of or the day before the release of the album in stores.

thats what i was going to say. I've always got mine the day of or day before

yea usually when you pre order from a band's web site they get you the CD like many have said on or before the release date, you wont receieve it like a week later they';; ship it before hand.... just dont pre order anything from like FYE, Target or places like that because they will ship the item on the release date.

ok  then Ill do the 25 $ one . thanks for the info ladies .

i'm not a lady 

LOL! I think she was making a general assumption, Swat.

LOL I'm not a lady either! It's soooo common for ppl to assume hanson fans are girls...

yeah I think most people assume that Hanson fans are girls since that is the majority of the fanbase. But glad to see we have guys here to, it's always awesome to find guys who like the music, especially since I myself know no guys who like Hanson's music.

i know guys who like Hanson music..  but I don't know guys that would be a member on this site..  

LMAO sorry that me laugh so hard.

i said "Ladies" as a general assumption Sorry .

I believe I got mine then:the day of or so. Amazon gives it to you later. My boyfriend is a member on here.  I  didn't even know he was a member on here until I met him at our 1st Hanson concert.

Thanks for the info ladies and gentlemen! Off I go to pre-order. 

Me too! Hahahahaha! I tend to assume that myself, actually.

hahahaha, that's awesome that we have some guys. its so hard to convince my dude friends to listen!

I don't think they'll give out the digital downloads until June 8th. I know I'll have a hard time resisting to listen to the alnum digitally then, althought it would be cool to wait for the actual album in the mail.

Hope they send out the albums prior to June 8th though. Many non-Americans could end up waiting til late June otherwise.

They'll let us know when the digital downloads for the album are ready to be available. It may not be til closer to the release date, but I don't know that for sure. But usually they do try to send the cds out ahead of time so everyone can hopefully get them on or before the release date. Hope this helps.
