Do amazon orders ever come early?

Okay so yesterday (August 12) I ordered 3 iPhone 5c cases. They said the estimated time that it would get to my house would be between September 8 - September 23 and it's August 13th?
Why is it sending so late? And will it come early by chance? I kinda want them before school starts.

I often get my Amazon orders earlier than the estimated delivery date.

Amazon itself doesn't sell that much. Their main business is providing an e-commerce portal for many outside vendors.

Therefore I tend to think that you ordered from one of those outside vendors, and it may just be the case that lots of students had the same idea as you, i.e., buy phone cases. Hence the vendor may have a huge list of orders to fill, hence the month away estimated delivery window.

  • Will iPhone 6s come early in the mail? I'm anticipating my arrival of my much-needed iPhone 6s+ in rose gold. However, it says it won't be here until November 6th. I'm just wondering what the chance is that it will come earlier than that, even if it's just a day early. Tell me your opinion below.
  • Why's my amazon account under review and orders pending for nearly 2 days now? I recently put a iPhone for sale on amazon, I've been buying on the site for years but this is my first sale. My item was brought but then I had a email saying my account is under review? And the order has been pending for days? Anybody experienced this?
  • When do iPhone 5 online pre-orders start? I have Verizon and want to pre order the iPhone 5 online As soon as possible. I know that Apple released it today and the shipping date and in store date is around September 21st. But, does anyone know what day I can pre order the phone?

  • What is up with Amazon and why are orders taking so long? Today November 10th, I placed an order for an Aaliyah iPhone 5 case. In the "description" for the order it said "Ships in 3-4 days" but when I ordered it, it said "Delivery date: December 10th" I contacted the seller and everything but the dates not changing, I need it before then. When I used to order cases I would get them like a week after I ordered them. For the past two orders it's been a month for me to get my orders. What's up with that?
