    Default Amazon order taking forever?

    Ordered a Kestrel 5700 on Amazon on 20 September 2024, it still hasn't even processed (money hasn't gone off my account). It's now been just over two weeks. First time it's happened to me.

    Anyone have this happen with Amazon before?

    Yes.
    I ordered an ereader and a cover for the reader. Both showed in stock with a delivery time of 3 weeks. The cover shipped the next day and arrived at my house in 11 days. The reader itself was still not shipped. 16 days after order, it finally shipped and arrived at my house at day 20. One day earlier than expected.

    Go figure...

    If you order anything from Amazon, makes sure it's something that is actually delivered by Amazon. I learned this at my own cost. Best to request that Amazon give you a refund.

    It indicated the product ships to SA, on the order is shows shipping charges, import charges etc. The money hasn't gone off my account yet, which is part of the query I posted.

    The payment will only be taken off your account when the item ships.

    What was the quoted expected delivery date?

    Some items have long expected shipping dates like that because the item has to be moved to a Amazon export capable warehouse from a smaller local warehouse.
    Its not very unusual. Usually happens with items they don't have much stock of.
    I've had orders split and some items come immediately while others take weeks longer.

    Just hold strong, it will most probably arrive by the 21st as stated
