I decided to give it one more shot and called the awesome crew at FP today. Last ditch effort, inflict more pain & suffering upon myself and all that - considering I was apparently built 7/30 and have had delivery changed 4 times since then.
This FP rep was great and he couldn't understand what he was seeing on his end. He couldn't confirm if the 'Built' date of 7/30 i see in the tracker is actually my real build date or not. Just that it went into Production, was last updated on 8/6. Does not share it as produced, or that it is awaiting shipping. BUT, it does have an estimated delivery date 10/17 - 10/23.
I am now officially convinced I may have the most cursed '21 order of the bunch and will never see it. (Now, where is my bottle of Jameson to put these flames out?)
