Amazon Shipping

First world problem of the day

There aren't enough drivers to fulfill that many 2-day deliveries..

UPS tried to supplement by using USPS for the last mile of shipment but USPS could frick up a delivery from your house right back to yourself

count yourself lucky. I've been on the 5-7 schedule since covid

Are you going to complain when free same-day shipping is normal in 5 years and you have to wait until tomorrow?

I had this issue twice in the past. In discussing with next door neighbor, discovered that they did not have the same issue on the same items.

Delete your default ship to address and recreate it.

I’m considering canceling Prime now that football season is over for streaming.

I never get items very fast and you get free shipping if you spend like $35.

What am I paying for ?

That's just it. My address has not changed. Amazon is just slower now.

I will try what that one guy said and delete my address and reenter it.

I commented in the last such thread we actually started getting our packages too soon. I would order in the evening up to about 9pm and had the option of delivery between 4 and 7am next day or 9 and 12. I had to stop clicking on 4-7 because they were waking the dogs up driving in and leaving. Those are about 50% of what I order the rest are two day and I can't remember when the last time something didn't show up in two days except one package that was lost but I apparently didn't need it quickly because it was about a week before I noticed.

Amazon is like the rest of the delivery services it has a lot to do with where you live. Normally our UPS, USPS, and FedEx are also great but this was the worst holiday season I can remember and they all seem to still be getting over their holiday hangover because almost every package we get from those three is still at least a day late. Our most recent Chewy package via FedEx took 6 days whereas it has always only taken three. I ran out of food on the 5th day and had to buy some locally to tide the pack over.

So I was looking through my order history and almost every order I made since forever was on my doorstep in 2 bidness days.

Since November, all my orders have been taking 5-7 days. At first I just chalked it up to the Christmas rush, but that's over now. Every item that I see with "prime" shipping says it will be 5-7 business days.

Is Amazon pulling a bait and switch? Have they "done away" with 2 day shipping? If so, that's bullshite and I will cancel.

I just had 2 different orders, both delivered in less than 48 hours, so no.

Opposite here. The stuff I ordered for Christmas arrived days earlier than projected. I was pleasantly surprised.
