Amazon order problem (and questions).

Hi Guys,

I placed an order for six items at Amazon on 12/4 to take advantage of the last day of the free shipping offer. At the time I place the order, all items were listed as in stock.

Hower, as soon as I hit the send order button and was sent to the order summary page, the availability of two of the items had changed to "2 to 3 weeks". I checked again today, and they have changed to "3 to 5 weeks". However, the shipping date estimated for these two items is December 10th?

Does anyone know what this means? Did I order the last available copies of these two items (which is why the availability date changed), and I will still receive them on time? Or have the ones I ordered been backordered too and Amazon's software just hasn't updated the shipping date? Has anyone else ever been in this situation before, and what was the result?

Also, If I place another order, then combine the two and cancel the backordered items, will I lose the free shipping savings (since the promo is now over)?

Thanks for any info,

Roy

First - Amazon says if you change the free shipping order, you will lose the free shipping.


Second, I'm in the same situation. I had ALL my items at "ships in 24 hours", in the last 4 days, they've "bounced" between 3-4 days, 2-3 days, and 24 hours.

I had one of the items (Chocolat DVD) switch 3 times!

At one point or the other, every item has had a "within 24 hours" on it, but not all at the same time.

With this round robin, I'm wondering if it will ever ship!

And as for the shipping date, they change it once you hit the beginning of their original estimate.
