Mostly things checkmarked with the Prime logo that say they're available for 2 day shipping, but are usually late if we're being Frank. Almost all the orders I've placed recently have exceeded their expected date of delivery. Really starting to wonder why I continue to pay for a Prime membership.


You never could count on the 2 day shipping around Christmas. And I don't ever have issues. I'm in Texas and have been paying taxes forever, so that's not some new issue to me either. If you are having late deliveries, contact them. They will likely refund some fee and will get on the ads of that deliverer. If USPS is screwing up, Amazon needs to know.

I messaged Amazon to complain about paying for 1 day shipping, which ended up being 2 day shipping. They refunded me my $3.99. While I was chatting with the representative, I also mentioned having two other Prime shipments that were late early November. The representative looked into it and ended refunded me the total cost of those purchases. Got $90 back, which essentially pays for my Prime membership for the year


This happens to me frequently. Maybe I should call and let them know. “Hey, that single box of lightbulbs I ordered came in 3 days, not 2.”

If it's late, it was probably shipped via USPS from my experience. Only benefit for USPS is that they deliver on Saturdays and Sundays

Lots of random tech.

Fast charge USB cables, portable chargers, smart plugs, organization crap.

I order anything I can. Laundry detergent, clothes, tennis racquets/bags, vitamins. The most random thing I’ve ordered recently was a set of interior door keys (the metal sticks you keep above bedroom door frames).

No, I buy shite from Amazon all the time, but it's always things that I need.

Dog treats, clorox wipes, the majority of Christmas gifts, boxer shorts, shoes, wifi timer outlet for Christmas lights, kitchen sponges, new ID tag for my dog, books, records... but nothing that I don't need.

I get drunk and order random shite off of Amazon all the time. It’s like Christmas year round.

I bought some magnetic light switch covers that Orthodox Jews use to make sure they don't inadvertently flip a light switch on the Sabbath.

Amazon has EVERYTHING.

Bought a passport cover. Going out the country in January so figured it would be a good $10 investment.

Just ordered a singing John Cena toothbrush as a stocking stuffer. I'm glad this thread reminded me to look.

I have the same problem. I always buy more ridiculous shite when I am half asleep late at night.

I often load up on used books that I won't get around to reading for two or three years because I already have a shite ton of books I still need to read. Yes, I prefer actual books over using kindle.
