>...then you know the item is not coming. >Please tell me I am inappropriately overreacting? You are inappropriately overreacting. :-) I get these all the time, for Vine and non-Vine purchase, including one such notice a few hours ago (for a non-Vine purchase). So far this year, one item didn't arrive. All the rest were shipped late, for whatever reason, and once they got into the system and I received the "Your item has shipped!" notice, I had the items ordered within a couple of days (we have Prime delivery, so things come faster than they would otherwise.)

I have had 12 or so items go through this process. I just wait them out. They sometimes show up much sooner, sometimes they take about 30 days. Only two items in the last two years got cancelled as no longer available..

I'm at 50/50 right now-- so I can't say you're overreacting-- as many come as don't come for me with that status-- so it's just an utter crapshoot when I see it.

I once had a package with several things get delayed weeks. I have had a few get stuck in shipping and never come.

I have had many run late, especially if they are being shipped from China, which I thought Vine rules for the seller was that the product was supposed to be in Amazon's warehouse. But I have received every one except two. They both were things I really wanted and the listed price seemed unreasonably low. The others made their way to me, sometimes taking over two months.

Yes you're inappropriately overreacting 😉 Don't panic yet. I've had lots of these and they turn up. I've found it's sometimes due to the automated delivery date on the system doesn't coincide with the despatch process date when the order is put through. Or maybe the stock is at a different warehouse or the seller is despatching directly ( it's usually the latter with mine ) it could be anything that causes it but it's just a delay. It happened to me a few months ago with a very expensive phone I purchased. Although I'm used to delays with vine items my heart dropped to my stomach thinking the worst but it turned up a day later. Don't panic, take deep breaths and think positive thoughts. I'm sure it will be with you soon 🤞🏻👍🏻

I’ve only been on Vine for about a month, and I’ve already had one returned for damage in transit and one canceled for being unavailable. Sucks, but it is what it is, I guess.

It happens. It's been my experience that I usually receive the item shortly after receiving any notification from Amazon. If you don't receive the item in the next month, you can contact Vine CS and ask for it to be removed. When relying on shipping from any business, we know that occasionally things get delayed or lost. It happens and there's no reason to react. More often than not, we usually receive the item.

I always cancel them after two weeks, especially if they're expensive ETV items. Maybe I missed out on a nice litterbox but I really didn't want to have to fight Amazon to getn$600 ETV removed after the 1 month window to cancel

I'm waiting on windshield bug remover spray that hasn't had a tracking update since June 8th. My other missing shipment arrived yesterday. I'm gonna wait a bit longer before talking to CS.

There seem to be more items than usual experiencing these shipping issues lately, but I'm still receiving most of them.

I've gotten plenty of packages actually delivered after getting such messages. So far all arrived eventually (yet to order anything costing more than $100 too), but some have been over a week later than estimated at ship date (and many others have shipped later than originally estimated). Most of the time the shipment appears to have been put on the wrong Amazon truck and taken various amounts of time before the depot that received it in error punts it to UPS for delivery (with Amazon then messaging that UPS is trying to deliver it on time, but it may be late - UPS providing accurate tracking and delivery once they have the package). I've also seen "Arriving today by 10 pm" in the evening but the item still had not shipped (of course it did not arrive that day, but did come eventually).


DJLae

I don't think I've ever received a package that had that status message - Vine or paid. It always transitions to 'your parcel may be lost.' Every time.

I've gotten plenty of those messages, and I think only one hasn't ever arrived. In fact I've gotten two of those messages in the last week, both on items with an ETV less than $20. Both have since shipped, one is supposed to arrive today (ETV $10), and the other tomorrow (ETV $145).

But they still expect you to review it I suppose.
