here's another update from someone with a very similar experience (me). I agree with
@Davidrun2B on both points:
1. Narrowing EDD doesn't really mean much at all. Mine narrowed and expanded numerous times since October and am now sitting at the biggest range since ordering (Jan 5 - Feb 2). I suspect that this will be pushed out again tomorrow or the next day as I enter the EDD range.
2. SA's really don't have any tools that tell them anything more accurate than what we see. I've spoken to 5 different people at SCs and 2 different SA's and each one of them had a different response depending on when I asked. The last person who I talked to yesterday stated that whatever tools the people are using to tell you a date is going to be a best guess. "Soft-Match" is also one of these tools, but they run off the same type of algorithm and is just another estimate. Basically, just sit tight and wait since no one really knows.
Hilariously, the last person also told me that they would escalate my order and put me on a priority/watch list. Yeah.... I'm sure that doesn't exist either but thanks.
