I purchased a Christmas gift in mid-November with the ship date for the item being listed as December 6 (it was weeks later, but there was still plenty of time for the gift to arrive). Then the ship date shifted to December 20 (likely not getting it by Chrstimas), then to January 3 (forget about it being a Christmas gift). As an insult to the injury, I received an email from the company's founder praising the company and being proud that *all* purchases above $50 ship for free. My purchase was above $50, but I still had to pay shipping. Clearly that statement was not true. At that time I wished I could cancel the order and get the item from another store (which would arrive in time and be cheaper). Lukily, the item did ship before Christmas and I was able to gift it as planned.
