I'm beginning to double the validity of an Aug 27 delivery date.
I, too, applied a Gift Card to the order and it changed from "We need more time..." to Delivery Date: Aug 27. However, that's tomorrow. And it's not even in the "shipping soon" phase yet. I can still cancel, modify the order, etc.
Ah, well, it wasn't supposed to go out till before Sept 4 anyway. Perhaps it will ship out tomorrow and be here on Monday.
