In my eyes the entire purpose of preorder is so you can get it either before the street date or at the very latest on the street date.

In my experiences, it only has been when I preorder the Disturbed CD. Any other band's I purchase as preorder I have ALWAYS received before or right on the Street Date. IF by chance the date was to be changed I have ALWAYS received some notification; however, I have not received ANY notification as to why my order is delayed.

This is no fault of Disturbeds but at the fault of the company that does the shipping/selling. Perhaps, they should look into (not the guys but their management) why this company delays such shipments.
