False Delivery Estimates

Anyone else finding that delivery estimates lately are wildly inaccurate?

It seems like every third or fourth time I order something it gets updated that it’s going to be days or weeks later than it was supposed to be. Is this purposeful to stop you from shopping somewhere else when you know you won’t be able to get it from Amazon in time? It’s starting to get annoying when you’re ordering stuff that you need by a certain date and then that day comes and passes and it just updates the delivery date or says “was expected yesterday”.

I needed something for an outdoor project today and I knew they had it on Amazon. I needed to get it done this morning and it said it would be delivered between 4am and 8am. It never showed up and now just updated that it’s this afternoon instead (when we are supposed to get severe thunderstorms). I know it’s a relatively small thing, but just another example of the annoying misrepresentation. I guess I should’ve just gone out last night and got it at brick and mortar store.
