re: So is this the point where amazon goes to shite?

Amazon has been iffy on the two day thing for quite some time before the shut down.

That said, I've found the stuff I've ordered since the shut down has been at least as fast, if not a little faster than the stuff I ordered from them before.

I also found they've been the best at delivering stuff of the different services I've tried. Wal Mart has been horrendous for this for me. First order I placed was a little more than a week in getting here, second time we tried, we couldn't find either a shipping or pick up date available. Instacart wasn't bad, but it still took a couple of days for orders.

Of course, popping into one of the local stores early when they open is still the best bet though.
