This has happened to me a few times. I ordered something from Amazon that ships from a third party seller. As usual, there is no specific date for delivery - just a window. In this case, it arrived early in the window and all was well.
A few days ago I went to my account to check on my other orders and I noticed that they had updated the order I had already received with an "We're sorry, your order has been delayed" message. They have since sent a couple other messages with non specific status reports, "your order has been delayed, but it's on the way".
I didn't attempt to get in touch with them to point out the mistake -- because it's Amazon, why bother?
I got the message today that it is expected to be delivered today -- again, no specific tracking info.
Anyway, I've been here before. They will probably send me another message or two with status updates but the package will never arrive. Within a day or two the status of the order will revert back to "Delivered".
I wonder how many man hours went into this charade?

Probably zero.
It’s all the machine.

I ordered a small item from Amazon the other day. At checkout I was told it could be 20 days due to shipping problems caused by coronavirus. Seemed pretty ridiculous to me, but what do I know?
Then I got a message telling me it would arrive on the 3rd. And then it showed up on the 2nd.
Things seem to be in a bit of an uproar at the Big Store.

Item arrived yesterday that was supposed to arrive today, but original shipping info showed arrival next week sometime. |

I've had the same thing. "Sorry about the delay"... and then I trip over the package on my way out the door.
