Let us know if it actually comes today.
I had a similar issue with Lowes about a year ago.
I kept getting texts and promises that my item was out for delivery.
It turned out that the item was no longer even available, and the factory had it on backorder.
The more brick and mortar stores they close, the more these issues will arise. It will get worse until it is like the airlines. Where they think they have you by the shorthairs, and they are the only one game in town. Take it or leave it.
The only solution is a half ass one, because you will still be stuck with only getting what is available, but I can live with that. Build a strong community and keep those Mom and Pop businesses afloat.
Don't get me wrong there have been glitches and goofs, but 98% of the time

I order from amazon all the time. I have Prime, which is worth it to me just for the extras like Prime Video. A few weeks ago I ordered an item in the late morning, It was there that very same day! How's that for service. And I live on an island with no warehouses or anything close by. Once in awhile I don't get something within the 48 hour window, but that is extremely rare.

The item IS obviously available and can be delivered today, so what are they pulling?
I've cut down my Amazon buying about 90%. I gave up prime and have been buying local when I can.

Sooo, uhhhhh, did you get your package today???????? I've been dying of anxiety!
I never fell for the prime thing. As a rule, I don't join many things I have to pay for if I can get mostly similar for free.
