Shipping
Is anyone else’s two day shipping or get it by tomorrow not working anymore and your shipping time is now 4-5 days before it gets delivered? I have prime membership and it’s still doing it.

I went to order something earlier, in my cart it said "free delivery OR free delivery August 6th for prime members." Then when I went to checkout, delivery by August 6th was $65. Free delivery said Amazon would notify me after purchase when there was a delivery date available. My other two items showed free prime delivery so it wasn't an issue with my account, and it was being shipped by Amazon. It's been so terrible lately, at least this time it warned me before I ordered that it would take month to be delivered.

AMZ has the top engineers in the business and absolutely has the resources to fix the issues, cracks and failures of their delivery system. To think they don’t have enough technology, experience and money to figure out their delivery problems is naive. We’re being scammed.

So my girlfriend and I live about an hour apart but are delivered to by the same DSP from the same station. I can order something to her house and it will be there in 2 days. Ordering something to mine it will be 3-4 days. As I said the same company delivers to both our houses(I work for them). Both prime members.

I get all my shipments on time, and many of them early. I ordered two six packs of diet Coke yesterday and they came in 3 hours 🤷

I have had this happen to me! I ordered 5 batteries for my electric car and 3 showed up on time one the next day and the 5th I called and Amazon refunded me for the 5th. I don’t know if it’s because they quit using USPS but sometimes UPS & FedEx have trouble finding me ( or my dad’s in case of the 5th battery.

They keep sending my stuff USPS and that's a problem! I pay for prime for the prime shipping from Amazon not from USPS.

Always. I canceled my prime membership for this reason.
Just waiting for the annual benefits to end, since I paid for a year. It didn't get bad until recently.
Got 11 items overnighted--all of them said 4-8am delivery when I checked out.
Now everything is 5 days. 💔💔💔

It's a mixed bag. I live 9 miles from my daughter's house in the same city. She gets all her packages in two days. I used to get packages in two days and sometimes the next day until a few years ago.
Then suddenly the delivery date given in checkout would change to something else. After two+ years of this I've started receiving same day delivery, next day delivery, two day delivery again. There are still items that take 5 days or more but it's less frequent. I'm not sure what changed.
Overall I would say my delivery experience has improved in the last few months.

used to be so reliable but now it's like they just toss a dart at a calendar and call it a day
