transfers or checks; we do not guarantee such transactions.
* Beware of e-mails that request direct payments, request payment to
international locations, or ask for personal information. Amazon.co.uk

So.......am I missing something? How can they ship my pre-order for an item that releases on September? Is this a stupid tactic so as not to be able to cancel my pre-order if I so wish? Isn't that......well.....illegal or something?
