i am also a big fan of the "super-saver shipping" so i understand.
since they had assured you initially that they would get it to you before xmas, can you insist that they ship the available stuff NOW (for free, of course) and ship the OOS item later?
it seems only reasonable that they would do this. i think that if you pressed the matter they should relent.
i can't say for sure though, because aside from a couple returns, I've never had a bad experience w/amazon. even the returns went swimmingly.
in the meantime, you could make clever little IOUs with pics of the actual item. this comes from someone who give b-day presents about 6 months late, just because i'm horrible with dates.
