My second Dot 3 arrived last night or early this morning but I didn't hear anyone and they didn't ring the doorbell. As of 9:30pm last night it wasn't here, but it was this morning.

I tried to set it up this morning, but true to Amazon tradition there was a major glitch. After several attempts it appears to be connected to my WiFi, can answer questions, already updated the FW, but for some strange reason it is not appearing in my list of devices. So I'm about to call the bozos in CS to see what went wrong. Geez, Bezos needs to stop hiring every bozo he can for his design teams!

ETA: Well apparently it did register the new Dot 3 but in a rather bazaar way. Before I called CS I took a deeper look into my devices including going to Amazon.com website Manage Your Content and Devices page. I noticed a device I had named Donna's Dot2 which was originally a Dot2 which I gifted to my sister 13 months ago and then deregistered. I thought it was strange that it suddenly reappeared in my device lists yesterday. So I deregistered it again. Then when I setup my new Dot3 this morning, apparently it was given this name automatically. After getting frustrated I went to the Manage Your Content and Devices page and clicked the info button for Donna's Dot2 and sure enough it was listed as a Dot 3. WTH!!!! Why is Amazon automatically naming new devices with deregistered device names? That makes absolutely no sense. In the past they used a naming scheme something like "[your name]'s New Dot 3". Oh well, at least it is registered and working, so now to pair it with my other Dot 3 for stereo!

ETA-Part 2: Looks like it was delivered at 10:18 pm last night. I looked at my security camera footage, see attached. Pretty late for a delivery and because I had no idea it had arrived it spent the night on my porch. It had been scheduled for delivery by 9 pm but when it passed 9 pm the Amazon website changed to say it had been delayed and to expect it the next day.
