re: Is Amazon Prime finally screwing up?

I'd heard rumors about USPS fricking up Prime, and today it happened to me. Not cool.

Amazon pretended like my package would get here today by 8pm. But here we are at almost 9pm, and I have no faith that a government employee is still laboring away.

This happened to me once. I was a few feet from my door when I got the delivery notice, but nothing.

When I checked on USPS's website, it said something like a delivery "was attempted" but "recipient wasn't available for delivery."

Now this was irritating, but I was upset with USPS, especially because it was a lie. Obviously you can put blame on Amazon since they contract with USPS, but I don't think that very fair since there are limited options for delivery.

I've heard rumors that Amazon going to eventually provide deliveries in-house. I don't know how valid those rumors are, but it seems like a logical progression for the company, especially if the other services are harming their reputation.

I've had several occasions lately that I ordered an item that should be there a couple Days later and it didn't get shipped out until a couple days later.

They've actually given me like 3 months of free prime due to it after a few emails.

It depends on where you live I guess. Sometimes my packages get switched over to USPS.

Order a few things from Walmart and your love of Amazon Prime will return.

Amazon spoiled us to the point we get pissed with the occasional miss whereas most other companies out there you are lucky to get your package in one piece in 7 days.
