Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

My Amazon orders the past two weeks have actually come ahead of time. I am not a Prime member.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I'm a Prime member in the mid-Atlantic area.  I haven't notice any push back of delivery dates.....except for one or two deliveries that were due in the evening, but were delivered the next day.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I've not had Amazon issues, just recently UPS has been off by days.  They always say it will be here by 1:30,then it goes to 3:30 then 7 p.m. then 8 or 10.  Don't know what advantage it is to play this game every time!

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I am Prime but I try to combine orders, and deliver on the same day. If I really need it asap that's one thing but more often than not I don't need it tomorrow, it can wait until the following Monday.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

this has been going on for a long time in my area......and we have an amazon warehouse close by. i am not getting that many deliveries overnight anymore, some take 2 days, some longer, and it is now costing MORE to keep prime.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

MORE of an issue for me.....

 

i absolutely hate when amazon says something has been delivered, when it hasnt. i also hate seeing that they say "access to home not available." i am in a single family home. these generally mean that the driver didnt want to deliver them so they will wait for the next days deliveries.

@QVCkitty1 Aren't the digital credits great? I'll happily  wait a few extra days for delivery if credits are available. Just checked mine and I have nearly $14 to use through Dec. 31, and I'm sure I'll pick up some more before then. Just rented 3 movies for free this summer!

 

eta: There are 16 Amazon warehouses/fulfillment centers around my metro area. So if something is promised as "same day," or 1-2 day delivery, it happens in that time frame. Third-party, marketplace vendors don't usually specify the quick delivery.


i never use them, maybe i should start,

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

Most of my orders arrive overnight or the following day.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I don't think I've ever gotten 2 day delivery since I started Prime, and we now have a fulfillment center nearby.  DH got one in 2 days the other day though.  I'm rarely in a big hurry to get things though, and now often combine orders for fewer deliveries, not for the digital discount though.  I'd rather they'd just add points for shopping.  

 

I try to order items after my CC date passes and then wait until the next date before ordering again.

Re: Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I haven't had any issues.  I sometimes choose to have a later date so everything can be in one package.  I have noticed if an item is coming from a third party vendor it takes longer.
