Dear robert, Thank you for ordering with Blackwell's Online Bookshop. We can confirm that your order has been received. You have ordered: Fundamentals of Speech Recognition ISBN: 0130151572 Qty: 1 Expected: 22-Jan-2003 DESPATCH TIMES This date is a guideline based on the normal supply time of this publisher, although we do hope to supply sooner. When the books are dispatched you will be notified by e-mail and your credit card will be charged. You will also receive an original invoice electronically. PAYMENT We will submit your order for authorisation from your payment provider (i.e. your card company). You will then either receive confirmation of authorisation, in which case your order will be forwarded to our warehouse, or you will receive an email indicating that your authorisation failed, in which case we will not be able to process your order. Please note your card will not be charged until the book is despatched. CANCELLING Once an order has been placed with us, we operate a 2 hour cooling off period, which allows you to cancel your order without any further implications. After this point we then direct your order through to our warehouse, if we have it in stock, or through to a publisher if we no longer hold the title. If the title is in stock, and you subsequently cancel after the 2 hour cooling off period, we will endeavour to cancel your order with the supplier providing it has not yet been despatched. In the case of orders placed through to an external supplier we will not always be able to cancel the order, in which case you will be supplied with your order, however we will be happy to refund your order if you wish to return it (see below). STATUS ALTERATIONS We will contact you by e-mail if there is any alteration to the publication status. In the meantime you can log onto Blackwell's Online Bookshop and check the progress of your order on the "Order Tracker". This option appears in the control panel on the left-hand side of your screen. Click on the appropriate order to view its progress. For security reasons we will not be able to alter your order once you have placed it - our customer services staff will not substitute titles should you change your mind or, in the event of your payment card being refused, attempt to substitute it with other card details. Please place a new order if you wish to do the above, and cancel/return your outstanding order by visiting your account at www.blackwell.co.uk (login and then follow the instructions).
