Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS

I ordered an Outlaw RR2160 MkII Stereo Receiver to use as an integrated amplifier on the 12/15. And one reason I ordered it was the website said it was in stock!

Got a email from Outlaw saying the transaction did not go through? Hmm
Called the bank, everything was cool.

Got another email from Outlaw saying some parts needed to be backordered for my order. What!?

Got another email from FedEX saying my package is in route from Utah, but Outlaw is in Norton, MA!

Got another email from FedEX saying I’ll have by 12/24.

It is now 12/26 and no RR2160 MKII and I fault Outlaw for not having it in stock when it was clearly shown on their website AND FedEX for late delivery

In the words of BB King. The thrill is gone. It’s going back...

When the Outlaw does come can I just not accept the item for a return? Or do I have to accept it and it return it myself? Anyone have experience in these matters?

Perhaps textbook was not the correct word. 

Well It's been 26 days since my CD player was shipped from Ohio, and still the tracking number tells me nothing.....I don't know if its still in Ohio or in the back of a postal truck or just plain lo0st forever.......It only cost 4000.00 and has 500.00 insurance..............It doesn't look good, and no one at the post office seems to care.............

Sorry if I went over the top, @audition__audio , but I like @schubert  and respect his expertise.
