I preordered my Collector's Edition of STO from Amazon back in December. A few days ago, I get an email from Amazon telling me that for an extra six bucks shipping I can get it delivered on the release date. I'm thinking that I preordered this thing over a month ago, why shouldn't I have it on the release date anyway? Why should I have to pay extra for that?
Of course, I paid it. I want it in my hot little hands as soon as possible, and the alternative looked to be about another week. Still, it kind of feels like my package was being held hostage for an extra week by Amazon for six bucks ransom and that's pretty annoying. One thing's for sure, I'll think twice before I preorder anything else from Amazon in the future. They're fine for books and and stuff that's already in stock, but I'm not happy with this all.
What do you think? Am I being unreasonable here?

I can understand being pissed about that. Maybe if they'd had that charge up front when you preordered, but sending an email a few days before launch seems a bit like extortion. I wonder if that's a new thing, I've preordered a few Xbox games via Amazon and always gotten them on release day, but I'm also a Prime member, so maybe that fee gets waived.
