There is an Update from 1/22/23 toward end of post
When I ordered my sit/stand desk, I also ordered a matching filing cabinet. At that time, they said it was on backorder and would ship about 1/25/2023. Okay, no problem.
On Tuesday, 1/17/2023, I got an email saying that the expected in stock date is 3/01/2023. Okay, not thrilled, but not like I am in dire need of it.
On Wednesday, 1/18/2023 I got an email that said it has shipped. Okay, maybe it's on a slow boat from China and has to clear customs and then get to the warehouse in TX, then get shipped. IDK
On 1/19/2023, I received a text from FedEx to expect a delivery on 1/21/2023. So I checked the tracking number for the filing cabinet, and sure enough, that is it.
So even though the in stock date got moved out by 1.5 months, I should still receive BEFORE the original estimated ship date. Not gonna argue, just very confused by the mixed messages :)
UPDATE 1/22/23:
The file cabinet arrived in good shape. And yes, that sucker is heavy. The box was an awkward size to get my arms around (for the weight), so it wasn't quite as easy to get up the stairs as a bag of pellets, but I managed. They pack extremely well with a box inside a box and stiff cardboard edge protectors and thick foam corner protectors. Once I got it unpackaged, I installed the whealsplaced some stuff in the drawers, and walla, there is a file cabinet under the desk.
It has a "seat cushion" that I can install, but have left it off for now since I'm pretty sure it would just end up a cat cushion. That odd wheel in the middle? That is a tip protector for when the drawers are pulled out. Although "optional" while assembling, they highly recommend using it and I saw no reason to disagree.
Meanwhile, from an order that I made for a chair mat that was supposed to be here on Monday, but apparently got lost about 35 miles from me:
"They" probably get just as confused as you by what happens in their supply chain. Just hope it is in great shape upon arrival. That is one heavy file cabinet!

Gotta admit that I am really surprised by the heftiness and quality of everything from UpLift. Okay, for the prices, it should all be quality product. And the reviews say it is quality, but it comes from China, which does not have the best reputation. Although it is normally true that you get what you pay for, and discount store Chinese products should not necessarily be the yardstick used.

I finally just cancelled the Am*zon order for the chair mat. Figured if it had been lost at the shipping facility for this long, it will never show up.
