Guild Wars 2

I am one of those crazy people who will cteate and delete several characters until i find the right one when i create a new character i recieve the preorder bonus item however it say you can only have it for one character but it won’t let me delete the message without taking it does it mean i can’t send it to other characters on the account or is it one per an account regardless of characters is the fact that iam recieving one every time i create a character considered a bug/exploit?

I deleted my character before they said anything about them only being available on the first character, i.e. within 1 min as the character was only created to reverser the name so that I could play with sliders and customization.
I want my items Anet!
