re: Amazon Prime Shipping

I ordered something prime on Wednesday morning of last week. It said at the time it was in stock but wouldn’t arrive til Tuesday. I don’t need it desperately so I was ok with it, but this is the case with a lot of prime items I order.

How does free 2 day shipping of an item ordered before lunch today, equal Oct 12th by 8pm?
Amazon is really getting shady with the shipping dates.
2018 and some people still havent' figured out how Prime works.

It’s very easy. Did you even try?

We have a winner.
It's 2 days from when the items leaves the warehouse, aka ships. Not 2 days from order.

I have been getting things later than 2 days too. Many don't even state 2 days when checking out.
Now that much of the retail has gone out of business they will be able to get away with shittier and shittier customer service.

If you live in civilization and the item is in stock, these are the same.

I ordered something recently and got it a day earlier than they said with Prime.
Probably has to do with where you live.

I ordered some stuff Friday afternoon, got it Sunday. Sunday delivery is nice.

This has been a thing for a while. Long gone are the days when you order a prime item and it arrives two days later. My guess is that there are just too many damn people that have prime now.

It definitely isn't how it was 3 years ago, but this is an overstatement
I'd say I get 95% of Prime things 2 days from order. Once or twice a month I may get a wonky 2 day ship that is actually 3-4, but it tells you on the front end and it's usually over a weekend.

Why does one day shipping show tomorrow and 2 day is Friday? The holiday only counts toward 2 day?

I'd be willing to wager that it's because one day is likely never touched by the USPS and is handled solely by UPS, FedEx, etc., so they're always available, holiday or not.
2 day deliveries very often will have the heavy cross-country or regional logistical part of the delivery handled by the private delivery companies with a handover at your local post office so the USPS can take care of the last mile for delivery. Since the USPS might have to touch it, they'll count the federal holiday against 2 day on both sides of the holiday. The extra day before is, of course, because the delivery may fall on the USPS holiday. The extra day on orders delivered after the holiday is to allow the USPS to clear its backlog from the holiday. So, you can expect 3 day delivery on an item ordered on the holiday.
That still doesn't explain the 4 days from today to Friday on an in-stock item shipped from and sold by Amazon, though.

This item showed 2 day shipping but some how the days are 48 hrs each.
I complained to Amazon about this and their explanation essentially was "It is 2 day shipping, not arrive 2nd day" and many 3rd party vendors have delays in order processing / fulfillment
For orders fulfilled out of the Amazon warehouse, it generally is 2 days

I canceled prime last month, after 5 years for that exact reason

Shipping has gotten ridiculous.
RARELY do I get something in 2 days. Not the way it was a couple of years ago. Much better before.
I order some pet items on Chewy.com. and yes, I do get that in 2 days.

I love the fact they try to deliver to my office when we are closed. -oh wait that is the USPS that Amazon thought was such a great idea to partner with.
Posted on 10/8/18 at 1:15 pm to slacker130
I have Prime and rarely is this a problem, in the times it is a problem, the USPS is usually involved, which I think is more of an issue. I've never been screwed over the shipping times that I consider canceling Prime. Plus use Amazon TV so by the time I calculate all of the cost spread over all that I use, it's still a deal for me.
My biggest problem, is my lazy arse will decide I need/want something, I'll go on to the APP and buy something in 5 seconds a lot more than if I would have to go to store and buy.
