Saw this hack on gizmodoIf you add an unreleased /pre-order item in your purchase at check out since amazon won't charge until it ships you can get the add on now and cancel the pre-order items after.
Old news. But they say that if you do this enough then your account might be shut down.
+1 - it works, but is it worth it?
How do I find unreleased or pre order items on amazon
Which of these 2 methods if less risky?
No need for that.The workaround I use is make an order with enough items in your cart to be over the $25 minimum, then after you place the order just go into the order details page and cancel the extra unwanted items.
Then you get charged shipping
Not for me.
