I'm in a bit of a pickle. I ordered two sticks of DDR5 4800MHz CL40 8GB Crucial RAM from Amazon on December 3rd, with an estimated delivery window between January 7th and February 18th. The order status has been stuck on "Ordered" since I bought it, and although it says it's sold by Amazon, I'm worried it might not be fulfilled by them. This RAM is the last part I need for a build I've been working on for the last couple of months, and my old PC just died unexpectedly due to a power supply issue. Should I hold on and wait it out, or is it better to cancel the order and find RAM elsewhere?

Before you cancel anything, it might be wise to grab another set of RAM if you find a good deal. Since your PC is out of commission, having something in hand is crucial. If by chance your original order arrives after you purchase new RAM, just keep the better kit and return the other. You don’t want to miss a good deal on DDR5 because you waited too long to cancel the initial order before ensuring you have something to use.
I’d recommend waiting until February 18th to see if your RAM shows up. Prices for RAM can get crazy, and you might not find another deal as good. On the 19th, reach out to Amazon but frame it as wondering if your order was delayed—avoid suggesting a refund right away. You might get different responses from various customer service reps, so try contacting them a few times to see if you can get a clearer answer.
