Package woes

I bought something from the Amazon for my mother's Christmas gift. It was scheduled for delivery today. Monday I got an email telling me it would be delivered Tuesday. Yesterday I got an email telling me that delivery would be delayed until Thursday. I made travel plans for Thursday morning to go see her and take her gift to her. She's 5 hours away. This news messed up those plans. Today (Wednesday ) I got notification that it was out for delivery. 🙄. Now I'm wondering if it is REALLY out for delivery. Stay tuned for more.

UPDATE: It arrived today as originally scheduled.

Black Friday is a great marketing gimmick and often the prices are good too. But there's nowhere near enough delivery infrastructure to keep all the standard overnight and 2nd-day promises.

On Saturday I ordered a book for Monday delivery to a friend, and as of Wednesday it's showing "not yet shipped." I'm confident it'll eventually arrive; just don't know when.
