The bigger the MO outfit, the longer the list of excuses for shipments getting bumped. It happens time and again, seen it with all of the companies as they've sprouted up from nothing and grown into huge mainstream places (and then into obscurity/memories, for some of them). The problem is that they've just gotten too popular. The reality is you can get cargo onto just about any plane you want .... but at a cost. If you want to keep your product at a price people are willing to pay then I guess you're at the mercy of the airlines (who make it a business goal to treat their customers badly) to tell you that they have some extra space available for your cargo now. So .. yes, it is plausible the shipment gets bumped and bumped and bumped if it is large enough (or often enough) to be a logistical challenge for the airlines. Hopefully it doesn't sit on the tarmac in between in each time though!
