Nearly every bike part I have ordered has turned up late.
After working in the industry there are so many hold ups,
Couriers/suppliers/shops etc.
Recently I ordered a Salsa fork from my local LBS. They checked the due in date on Ison’s b2b. A couple of days later I was told in would be another 4 weeks.
Did that shop lie to me??
If he was going to lie he probably lie to get you to buy something in stock.
