A good 90% of Amazon's offerings no longer show two or three day Prime shipping

I think the average time is now around 5 days

Maybe it's based on where you live, but there are like 5 or 6 fulfillment centers close to me, including the larger one in BR, and hardly anything shows up as a Prime shipping option anymore. And yes, these are all fulfilled by Amazon products. Not fulfilled by the seller, which has always been 4-5 days

Losing UPS as their main delivery option has really hurt them more than they are willing to admit, it seems.

Walmart+ is cheaper and seems almost like the better option these days

It must be, but I don't live in some massive hub or anything, and I get way more things the next day than I do around 5 days.

I ordered my oldest a new lunchbox last night and it arrived at 8:30 this morning.

I am sure toddler clothes don't take up much space so they are able to store those even in the smaller fulfillment centers

Maybe if you live in the sticks.

Most things I order are 2-3 day shipping. Not sure if Amazon even advertises 2 day shipping anymore. No idea why we pay for Prime, honestly.

Yea I used to but everything I have checked over the past two weeks outside of like one item have all shown 5 days. Two fulfilment centers in Laffy, a new one in Lake Chuck, two in Baton Rouge including the big hub, and one around Alexandria yet nothing shows up as two-day options. Even popular products they usually have in stock that I have ordered in the past and got two days on.

He's pretty cool

Chicks love him. You should borrow him and take him to a park. He might help you finally get laid.

I would take 3 days at this point. Nothing has shown that and I agree. Will probably cancel Prime if it doesn't improve. It really became an issue over the past 2-3 weeks for me.

Same here, I think it is dependent on the number of "Flex" drivers in your area for those quick deliveries. Multiple times a day I will spot someone's vehicle with a ton of packages in their vehicle driving around the neighborhood.

I've never gotten anything same day or next day. I'm lucky to get anything in the original Prime shipping window, and if I do it may get delivered at 9pm. Since the nearby warehouse opened several years ago it has done nothing but get worse.

They don't care. What are you going to do, shop somewhere else?

What I like doing, is being super fricking lazy, and ordering just 1 item ,Like a normal sized thing of ice cream, and having them same day ship, u know, the one item of ice cream.

Sincerely,

Female retard on the OT.

That's exactly what I did yesterday. I went to stores and bought stuff I might normally order out of convenience. It took 3 stops total and a few hours of my time, which is why I would normally order the items, but that was the better option vs waiting 5 days
