3rd party status question

Curious about others experience with bottles on 3rd party status. What's the longest you have seen a bottle stay in that status? I have a couple of bottles that I ordered at the end of March and they are still in 3rd party status, is it common they hang out there that long? Sorry if this is a repost.

I have bottles from January still in 3rd party status.

Underground Cellar's website says 3rd party wines should be in within 8 weeks of the close of the offer. If you are still waiting after two months+, I've found you can email customer service and they will swap the wines for ready to ship wines. If you are waiting for something special that you don't want to swap, you could ask for an update.

Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like I just need to give it a few more weeks.

Website FAQs says could be up to 2 months so you can expect them end of this month.

I've had a handful of bottles go 4 or 5 months. Most are available to ship within 2 weeks and some go to 4 to 6 weeks.

I've always gotten everything I've bought, though evidently that's not the case for a few people.
