Amazon Being Weird?

I have ordered three things this week for my car and it will say Estimated Shipping : March 7-12. Then On the 12 it will change from what it was to "March 12-30." Even though I ordered the decent mid level shipping and then they will be like it is not late because we told you it could until the 30th... BUT THEY TELL ME THE DAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

Yes, you can also contact Amazon customer service they are very good at making sure the customer is happy.  If you get contact them I'd figure you'd get a refund on your shipping at minimum.  Maybe a gift card or something as well depending on the scope of issues.

It could potentially be back-ordered. If you are worried, give them a call. Most of the time (not all, but most) Amazon has decent customer service.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Probably changed since today is the 17th, and it's passed the 12th. It could just be an auto-update.

I already contacted amazon (As they were the seller). And they were like "Well we cannot doing anything as our tracking and estimate is still accurate"

That was a early order. I had the same thing happen again today, I ordered it Friday supposed to come today, now saying the 24. Which is annoying cause this time it was a car stereo... All my car currently has is cassette...

Get angry at them.  They will buckle, they always do  :P For as much as it sounds like being a jerk, if you paid for a service you are entitled to it.

Just out of curiousity, does it go from Estimated shipping to Estimated Delivery? Because for me it tells me when things are going to leave the warehouse/seller, then it updates to when the package is estimated to come in. 

I have not noticed if it does or not. I am not to worried about when it tells me it is going to be here, so much as it is here in the time I pay for. If I pay for 2  day shipping and it says shipped for 4 days, I am going to be frustrated. From what I see, it is updating mid ship, it will get to Portland then they will update the estimated shipping day and send it back to Washinton and such xD

 

EDIT: It has said "Estimated delivery date" when having these issues.
