tamaranth5th Aug: ordered EEEEEE, purple Linuxy EEEEEEEEEEE, for delivery 12th Aug.
12th Aug: after waiting in all morning: received email indicating that delivery had been delayed to 19th Aug.
19th Aug: wake early full of glEEEEEE.
- Check order: not despatched: est. delivery date still 19th Aug.
- Check item page. 'in stock, despatched by ADMI'.
- Contact ADMI who have no record of me.
- Contact Amazon, who put me on hold for ages, talk to me in American accents and tell me that my order is being fulfilled by another supplier and will not be despatched for another 1-3 weeks.
- Express my displeasure at poor communication + inflexibility of Amazon order system (you would think preorders might be assigned to suppliers who actually stock the item, no?).
- Cancel Amazon order. With prejudice. With a stroppy little note.
- Order EEEEEEEEE from ADMI, direct.
- wait. Not patiently. Until at least tomorrow.

I pre-ordered and they have already delayed the delivery date once -- you would think they might make effort to keep me informed of further delays, even if they aren't prepared to switch suppliers to keep closer to original delivery date.
