Just ordered 3rd Gen dot from Amazon UK and the delivery is estimating March. Anybody know why it's so long?

Yea.. you are right. So the flow works as this: the device is made in a factory overseas and Amazon warehouse (in the us has already made this order, say 10000 echos). Once arrived at the Amazon warehouse, then individual consumer orders are fulfilled (often times back overseas). This is how every mass produced product is fulfilled. That factory does not give a shit or even have any information on where those units are going other than (Amazon warehouse in the US has ordered 10000 units). It is then once those orders are in the warehouse that they can be shipped to consumers. So all this "fuck you" "you know nothing" is really someone who knows not one fuck, not only about Amazon fulfillment, but mass consumer product fulfillment at all. So I'm trying to be nicer in 2019 so all I'll say is this: I don't blame that commenter, I blame his piece of trash mother for drinking so much during pregnancy. Which she did only to bury the regret of allowing herself to be talked out of that abortion.
