I had heard that this store was notorious for delayed orders. I should have listened. When you pay for a large item that you really need, it’s pretty disappointing to have the date canceled TWICE.

That is exactly what it is. It is not the store that is delaying the transaction it is the delivery logistics company that messes up

I have had them postpone delivery twice, in the mean time, my item in the warehouse was sold to another customer (So they claim). Delays, followed by delays that are delayed.

I don't think it's the store that is notorious, more of the distribution center.
