Can a rep please tell us if we will be getting the game day of release, and if the shipping fee will be waived at the time of payment?

This is kind of an important factor for those of us who don't want to wait 5-10 days after launch to play the game.

Or will early access grant full access to the game after release? I don't see this as probable since that is not how 1.0 or 2.0 early access worked.

Thanks!
