I doubt you've ever seen me be this blunt.
Amazon, for me as a vendor, sucks!
12 months, around 600 emails, and screwed over big time, with lies at every turn.
Couldn't resolve, and even begged family that works direct with Bezos, even visits his house
to interfere.
There is a big mess behind the scenes.
Fortunately, is mostly limited to jewelry.
For the op, sounds like the vendor processed shipping, because a vendor is penalized for not doing so timely and didn't have the product on hand.
It's done all the time.
I'm sure you'll get it resolved, but hope you might not open a can of worms, as one customer can actually destroy the livelihood
of a company that feeds their family from this.
