I've ordered a lot of stuff on Ebay the past couple months. Shipping's been real fast. You just have to dig for the seller's that offer fast shipping. I like buying from small businesses on Ebay vs Amazon. Those baws are happy for the business and don't hold on to crap for 2 weeks to prove a point.

I ordered a pair of Brooks shoes under Prime on April 26 and the delivery date is May 4th.

Amazon has completely abandoned the 2 day thing.

You would think that Amazon would suspend prime membership payments for the time being. I’m thinking of asking for a reimbursement for the last month.

Amazon hasn’t been too bad for me. Zappos has completely given up on delivering in a timely manner. FedEx has also gone into operation shutdown.

Amazon's shipping has slowed down from 1-2 day delivery to 1-2 weeks.


I've ordered a few things that had a two week delivery time but they all arrived within 2 days.

Lets see, the entire country in under a stay at home order. Amazon is getting crushed with essential orders as well as new or increased business from all the stuck at home people. OT still expects their little packages delivered in two days because damn it, they paid their 109 bucks for Prime.

Seems to me that, for the duration of this shipping slowdown, they should waive all Prime membership fees.

yes, we pay nearly $10 a month for 2 day shipping. What a bunch of fools we are, worse than the retards who pay $6 for shite, foo foo coffee from starbucks

Prime video is mediocre

And their sales are crap, you can find a better deal locally if you look.


A complete waste of cash, i was getting 3-4 day delivery w/o paying $120 a year for delivery.

I believe it's a test, a certain test.

By whomever you call them, to see where we can go in the future in a horribly interlocked way.

I'm talking about the world, not this country.

We're already inextricably linked economically.

It's Machevellian.

Just saw online that there is now an option on some orders to go change your delivery date to 2 day shipping because right now it's defaulting to something longer

Don’t fall for this shite. I just noticed the same and had a delivery date of 5/8 so I changed the speed to 2 day and now the delivery date is 5/10. WTF kind of bullshite is that?

They gave me credit to my prime account if I agreed to delayed shipping on a few things.

I've earned like $20 my wife and I will buy movies with just to get packages in 5 days instead of 2.

Yep.

Well not every item is being slowed down. I’ve gotten plenty of “nonessential” items with standard Prime 2 day shipping. I’ve had one end table I ordered get delayed to about two weeks, and I think that’s because it originated in New Jersey which is more of a COVID hotspot.

I haven't had any issues with Amazon. Fedex, on the other hand has been a problem. The last five orders I've received via Fedex have all been 2-3 days late.

What’s telling is how few things are available at the normal shipping speed.

My renewal just came up and I stopped the auto renew for now. They’ve also stopped the lightning deals as well.

I am sure it’s unnecessary.
And I called today about an amazon prime video billing question, only to find out they aren’t taking calls to help you during this time.

Well, should they continue to collect the $109 from everyone if they can't keep to their end of the agreement? I don't think it's anything to cry about if deliveries are slower given the circumstances, but people pay for Prime mostly for the 2-day (or even 3 or 4 day) deliveries.
