Important: Reaper of Souls Closed Beta and Patch 2.0.1 PTR Draw to a Close
Reaper of Souls - Pre-Order Loot Revealed

Check them out below:
Wings of Valor: Summon the radiant wings of the Archangel of Valor for your characters in Diablo III.
Valla the Demon Hunter: Unlock Valla the Demon Hunter in Heroes of the Storm—our upcoming free-to-play online team brawler featuring iconic Blizzard characters, fast-paced combat, and epic battlegrounds.
If you've already digitally pre-purchased the Reaper of Souls expansion, either as the standard edition or the Digital Deluxe Edition, then you're all set! These bonus items will be granted to your Battle.net account as follows:
- The Wings of Valor will be automatically sent to your existing and any newly created Diablo III characters via an in-game notification starting March 20, 2014.
- Valla the Demon Hunter will be available once Heroes of the Storm has been officially released. Note that Heroes of the Storm is still deep in development and does not have an announced release date, but you can stay tuned to the official game site for future updates. Note also that pre-purchasing Reaper of Souls does not guarantee a spot in the eventual Heroes of the Storm alpha or beta tests.
If you pre-order Reaper of Souls at a retail store—either a physical standard edition or physical Collector's Edition—be sure to redeem your Reaper of Souls game key via your Battle.net account on or before 11:59 PM PST on March 31, 2014. If you redeem your game key after that date, your pre-order loot will be consumed by the fires of the Burning Hells and lost forever. While you have six days from the time the expansion launches on March 25 to the time you must enter your code, to be safe, you should secure your preorder today and be ready to input your game key on launch day.
For more information on the upcoming March 25 launch of Reaper of Souls, be sure to check out the official expansion website, and keep your demon-weary eyes glued to www.diablo3.com for the latest news on the game.
Until then, slay well, Nephalem.

I mean, don't most retailers get this material beforehand? And we have unboxing videos almost a week before the release? Either that or some word from the devs that everyone who bought a CE will also get the pre-order bonuses (because it's quite obvious most of them preordered).
I have no idea what are policies for each single retailer but some ship earlier, others don't. I'm not extremely worried about not getting RoS before the 31th because Amazon is quite fast, but the fear is present in me....
I wouldn't rip my hair out my head (and even if i would, it will take a looooong time) if i don't get these pre order bonuses, but i'd love to have access to the Demon Hunter in Heroes as soon as the game is released. A bit less interested in Wings but those things are stuff i should have because i paid for the CE in advance and not getting them because the mail was slower would suck. I think the best way is to postpone the deadline a week later to be sure all physical preorders will reach their adressee in time.
fucking CALLED it! Never been so happy to be right about something like this is my life... My Crusader is going to look so fucking boss rocking about with his golden wings
