However, in order for the discussion to make any sense, we have to define "massive". "They" are expecting a flat-ish Christmas selling season, maybe flat or down 1 or up 1 percent from last year. I agree with you and think it'll be more like up 3, 4, or even 5 or more percent. What is your definition of "massive"?

Yeah, I don’t mean “up 30%” which would be absurd, given the base. But given the dour predictions, I’d say “a happy Christmas”, meaning a boost of 3%, maybe a bit more.

Oh, and I forgot two other things I’ve ordered which are also “running late”. And these are from a variety of vendors, so it’s not just Amazon that’s stressed.
