Yea. Seems like it's always 3 days. Never was a big deal it's still faster than regular shipping. I just don't use Amazon enough to justify it.

I feel like 90% of these posts are people who order something that isn't in an Amazon warehouse, but are from a third party dealer which are not 2-day shipping guaranteed.

White people problems.
But my prime always makes it within 3 days no matter what. I get it in 2 more often than I get it in 3 though.

Yeah, if I order it prime, it's here 2 days later. Never not been on time. If it does take longer, it'll say on the product page "this item requires an extra x amount of days to orocess/ship".

Last time I made a Prime order it was going to be 5 days, so I complained and they upgraded to one-day shipping, which still took 2 days, but I'll chalk that up to handling time.

The majority of my orders (and yes literally a majority) lately have been 3 or 4 days to Baton Rouge even when directly from the Amazon warehouse. I can forgive it a few times due to handling times, but it has become pretty bad.


ETA: A quick look through... I have placed 14 orders in the last 6 months where order/delivery dates are available...

5 of them have come in correctly in two days*
5 of them have come in three days later*
4 of them have taken 4 days.

*One order of two items directly from Amazon.com LLC was split and one item came in 2 days and the other in 3.
*The aforementioned order that I complained about was 2-days, but that's after being upgraded to one-day shipping when then e-mailed me with a 5-day expected arrival.

Again, I can chalk a few up to handling or ordering too late in the day, but that's a pretty poor record. I can't go back further than that with detailed info.

This is not one of those times. I was very specific on it being a 2 day shipping prime item.

I'll live if it shows up Monday but don't piss on my boots and tell me it's raining. I'm a big boy. If it won't be here until next week tell me that. Don't try to trick me with fancy numbers

Yeah something like "item takes 1-2 days to process"

I agree with the earlier poster, 90% of Amazon complaints are from people buying from another company on the Amazon website. I rarely, if ever, have issues with Amazon itself, and I'm a heavy prime user.

About once or twice a month but never 6 days. Usually 4

Maybe try ordering things that are Prime items. Because otherwise you're full of shite.

I ordered something today. I'm a prime member and the item was a prime item. The order says it is going to get here Monday.


Same thing just happened to me last week on a book (first book I have ordered in a long time). Ordered on a thursday, choose two day, saturday delivery. Next day, the order said it was going to be here on Wednesday. I called, because I really wanted it for Sunday. Girl said there was nothing she could do to speed it up, but gave me a small credit for the e-book (that was my idea, not hers). Wife checked the mail Sunday morning and the book had been sitting in the mailbox.

You have to update us, bro!

Weird. Ive never had it happen and you have it happen around 20 times a year. Are you in a desolate area?
