Why doesn't Amazon allow you to specify a delivery date?

As a prime member I get 1-2 day delivery, but often I will be out of town for the weekend and don't want a package sitting there for a couple days. Trying to order something and it will deliver Sat/Sunday or next Friday. I will be back Tuesday, why dont they have an option to ship via prime on Monday to deliver on Tuesday? I have to wait to order.

I cant find a way to delay shipping on their site, am I missing something?

Ship it to a friend or do you make a habit of ordering things right before you go out of town?

Just buy it on Monday.

You’re literally complaining that a company doesn’t ship something slower.

Order the product 1-2 days before you want it delivered.

There is a button in the shipping options that let's you pick the day of the week if you don't want packages delivered on a weekend or specific day. It is called "choose your Amazon day"

if I'm ordering a bunch of items It's more convenient for me and less costly for them, if i just say 'hey, I'm ordering a dozen items that you will overnight in multiple packages at tremendous cost, just deliver all of it in 5 days and only rush ship what you have to"

It's there, you can choose non prime, and it will be like 4-5 days. I see it on all my orders.

just wait to buy it?

I guess you can always have it shipped to one of their locker locations if you are really worried about it and they are available in your area

or have a friend go by and grab it for you

there are some really easy fixes for this, not sure why you think amazon is the problem here

If you go to Antarctica, bring security with you and watch out for helicopters.

Do you not have a smart phone or laptop? I'm confused how you are confused by this problem. Don't order shite online when you know you are going out of town.

It's like ordering a pizza at noon and asking how you get it delivered at 8pm
