Amazon executives said on its last earnings call that it will spend $800 million in the second quarter of 2019 to shorten the standard shipping program for Prime customers from two days to one. The program is first launching in North America but will eventually go global to other Prime markets, the executives said.

I'm still waiting on the 2 day shipping promises
ETA: just checked some random items. All guaranteed shipments by no later than Thursday, most on Wednesday.
Seems to be a bit of an improvement

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

totally agree. I always get my shipments on time and sometimes if I order early, I get them 1 day shipped

They rolled it out here and it is fantastic.

I can place an order right now for a" Prime" product, and I'd expect to receive it around Thursday at best, most likely Friday.

The fuel costs have got to be insane.

I am waiting for the day where they send you stuff a day before you order it. (I am sure it is coming)
Posted on 6/3/19 at 12:55 pm to East Coast Band
Damn, where do you live?

If Alabama would pave their roads it would be quicker

Whatever happened, they seem to have corrected it. I get everything on day 2 like I had for many years prior.

Until it leaves Amazon's BR distribution center... then all bets are off

They're not driving twice as fast to deliver in half the time and even if they were, they'd get much better mpg anyway.
They're doing it through reducing the time the package sits in a warehouse waiting to go on the next leg of the trip and by building more distribution centers so the product starts off closer to the customer in the first place. This is why Louisiana will always lag behind other places when it comes to Amazon delivery times. Louisana's arse backwards tax laws mean Amazon won't build a distribution center here. They'd get analraped on inventory taxes every year. Also, the workforce here is less than good, as evidenced by the Baton Rouge delivery center debacle.

I ordered a part of my dryer last week. Ordered it Thursday around 4pm, delivered Friday by 1pm. No extra shipping charge and price was better then the local parts house. Dryer fixed by 1:30 pm.
Amazing what Amazon can do, but I do feel bad for people competing with Amazon.

Just wait until holiday season. I had 3 packages lost last year that were prime items.
