That sucks. I get everything within 2 days. A good bit of stuff is same day if I order in the morning.


I can't figure out where all the people live that complain about Amazon shipping times. At our house in SC most everything has been coming within a day often same day for quite a while. Our LA house has a Maurepas address and gets 99% of orders in 2 days. I know some people do live farther off the grid. Also with the fulfillment times it is rare I can't find another product that is basically the same with immediate shipping. Most everything I notice that has a longer fulfillment time is more or less fungible Chinese stuff.

Wow that must be a really neat service for people that don't already have free same day shipping.

Your low rent redneck arse would never run in her circles, but hey, love those yo mamma references. Brings me all the way back to junior high and about the level of discourse one comes to expect on this site.

keep it dirty, dirty south.

Amazon can already ship to 72% of US population within a day, this map shows

Something similar should hold for 2 day shipping as well.

Free 1 day shipping.

That does not mean you get it in 1 day. I'm pretty sure it means that they will start the shipping process in one day. Two day free shipping means that they start the shipping process within those two days. Amazon is very tricky with their wording.

I got free one day shipping yesterday. Bought something on Saturday and had it delivered yesterday, for free, in BR. It’s awesome

You could say that you pay for the Prime video and music, and get shipping for free if it makes you feel better.

I get most my stuff from Walmart for free shipping or from other websites that also offer free/reduced shipping. I’m also ok waiting a few days for stuff to come in.

I try not to let one company have a hold on my pocketbook. It is in their best interest, not yours, to keep you locked in. Not to mention they usually don’t have the lowest price on items; ya - you got an item in 1 Day; you also paid $10 more for it than going to a local store (ie Ninja Air Fryer this past weekend I bought).

I don’t order a lot off amazon but I have never had a order that didn’t arrive on the date it was supposed to. I have had stuff delivered as late as 9:30 at night.

I live right next door to an Amazon fulfillment center so I get all of my packages first. It's pretty awesome. I just wish they would put lockers outside where I can just go pick up my items within the hour.

You must not order much from Amazon, because they almost always get it to you when they say they will.
