The Saga of the Rice Chex

I placed an order for 6 boxes of Rice Chex on October 27th with an estimated delivery date of November 5th.

On November 4th, Amazon wrote, "We're still trying to obtain [it]. Still want it? We'll keep on trying. To keep your order for this item open, please click the link below."

After I clicked on the magic "I really still want it" link, Amazon wrote, "We now have delivery date for the order. Estimated arrival date: 11/12/2008"

Today, November 11th, Amazon writes, "We're writing about the order you placed on October 27. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship the item(s) as soon as we expected and need to provide you with a new estimate of when the item(s) may be delivered. Estimated arrival date: 11/17/2008 - 11/19/2008"

Really? Amazon, please don't lead me on again.
I need my 6 boxes of Rice Chex. Really, I do.
