There is definitely some expectation setting going on. I ordered an item Saturday that it said would arrive Thursday. I received notification last night it would arrive today (Monday).

I am, however, of the mind that some China reliant items might be sometime (from any supplier, not just Amazon). It now seems impossible to find a bread maker for instance in the UK and there is no company seemingly expecting any stock anytime soon.

Happily, you don't need a bread maker to make bread! There are lots of recipes online that just require hand kneading, an oven, and a pan.

(I know this doesn't address your larger point, but maybe it helps you make bread without a bread maker, so I feel like it's worth mentioning anyway.)

Here in the US, bread machines often end up on the shelves on second hand stores like Goodwill and Savers. Certainly, it involves going to a store to purchase one (and relies on said store being open), but it is an option.
