So here's the latest update on mine. Until yesterday when I looked at track shipment on the Amazon site it said my Oasis shipped on Nov 7th and would be delivered today, the 9th, by 8pm (I have prime shipping). The package showed delivered to UPS carrier in New Jersey on Nov 7. Then this morning all of a sudden it says shipping has been delayed and is now expected to delivery between Nov 8 - 14 and if I don't have it by 15th to come back for further info. That didn't sound right since it said my package had already been sent to UPS so I called Amazon and was told that they are temporarily out of stock. I explained that the tracking said my package was delivered to the UPS facility on the 7th, so how could being out of stock now affect me unless the shipping info was incorrect. The rep was very helpful and put me on hold to contact UPS. She did 3 way call with UPS and the lady at UPS said the tracking info on Amazon is wrong. She said my package is now in my town and is out for delivery today by 8pm. She said to go to UPS tracking online and put my tracking number in. Sure enough I went to UPS online and I can see every stop my package has made along the way and it is indeed out for delivery with my local UPS carrier today. BUT the Amazon site still says it's delayed until Nov 8-14, so that is very misleading. I think that when they ran out of stock they just did a blanket announcement on the tracking for everyone who's package had not been delivered yet. That's the only explanation I can come up with. So if you've gotten notification that your package has already shipped and now it's saying it's delayed then check UPS tracking online and chances are your's is out for delivery too.
