I just got an email with the following information. I pre-ordered with standard shipping rather than the 2 day shipping. Anyone else get similar messages? Will it really be that late? Tempted to cancel and do digital order...

Does this mean that Blizz pushed the HOTS release date back? March 18th now?

that's unlikely since they have already planned all the release parties I think in Australia, they are giving out the EB games preorders on that day along with progamer's signing.
I believe that standard shipping is 5-8 days if I am not mistaken. Which would technically be correct since the game is not released until the 13th. When i ordered mine from amazon i selected 2 day shipping and as of now it is still supposed to be delivered day of release. Sucks for you though ;;
On the plus side, the time it takes to deliver a package is an unofficial indicator of a recession or recovery. Think about it this way. At least the economy is getting better since there's so much package traffic!
I've ordered it with free shipping because that also comes with release day guarentee if it's ordered early enough anyway, and my delivery estimate is still March 12th by 9pm. That's not US though.
My order is in US with 2-day shipping and the delivery estimate is still "Tuesday March 12, 2013 by 8:00pm". I ordered it 1 year ago, maybe they are shipping on "first come first get" basis?

Because its easier and you get if faster when buying from Amazon or Digital? At WoL Releasedate I bought it at a Store and only thing happened was that I met another one who bought it and we smiled at each other... thats it. :D
I had major problems with Amazon (UK) with both Diablo 3 Collectors and Mists Collectors, so I have produced a two-fingered salute and bought the digital deluxe this time to save myself the pain.
