Amazon Deliveries

Kachina624 — Mon, 11 Sep 2017 23:28:59 GMT

For those of you who love to brag about Amazon's fast deliveries and compare them to QVC. I ordered a 25lb bag of dog food, 12 cans of canned and some treats on Friday. Got a guaranteed delivery date of today. The USPS lady showed up with all except the 25lb bag as it was sent UPS Innovations. About 4pm I got an email that the 25lb bag would be delayed. Looks like Amazon is approaching a downhill slide. This was a Prime order.

My order came in 2 days but says it was delivered to the mailroom. I live in a house and do not have a mail room (or if I do, I have no clue where it is). They told me to wait until tomorrow in case it really is still in transit. And then they will refund/replace. I have also had orders arrive in 3 or 4 days versus 2 days.

LOL, even with the extra day which does occasionally happen it doesn't compare to QVC who can't even process an order to be picked up by the shipping company in 3 days except on rare occasions, let alone deliver anything within a week.

I placed a small order (cosmetic item) around last Friday. Showed it would be delivered on Sunday, by 8 p.m. Didn't get here even though the tracking showed it was picked up in the next town which is maybe 5 miles away. Today it shows it will arrive in a few days. That usually doesn't happen with Amazon.

I should add that my QVC order for the Mally TSV on Sept. 5 is still "in process" and it is now the evening of the 11th.

I'm glad to get my Amazon deliveries in 2-4 days (not a Prime member), but I wouldn't say I'm bragging by saying that. I mean, it's not like I own or run Amazon, so how would their quick deliveries to my address be a source of personal pride for me?

As far as QVC goes, they do take forever, but that is not the only reason I don't often order from them. Their selection isn't that great and neither are their prices. I used to really love their jewelry selection, but I rarely see anything I like at a decent price anymore. Sometimes I see a beauty bundle that would be a good deal if I wanted all of the products that came with the kit, but if I'm paying extra for something I didn't want anyway, it's not really a deal for me. As far as the clothes go, what if they don't fit? Then I have to pay to return them. And at other sites I can fill up a cart and get free shipping, but not here. In other words, it's not just the slow shipping that's a problem.

I still keep a wish list and I take a gander at what they have here sometimes, but there just isn't enough incentive for me to order from QVC very often anymore.

@jaxs mom Occasionally? My last order, all Prime, took 5 days to be delivered. It's gotten to be more than occasional.

@ceekay You'd better hurry and get that mailroom built onto your house or you'll never get another package.

I guess we have been very lucky so far. Up until about a year ago, we never got Sunday deliveries unless it was an overnight/2-day shipment around Christmas.

Now we get them regularly from Amazon Prime. At least the majority of deliveries are on time, so no complaints.

Last year we had a MIA QVC package around early November. UPS dropped the ball 60 miles from us. The package was never found and I had to order another.

It was a 25 lb portable Masterbuilt smoker! MIA? Not likely...

So, someone in UPS was smoking thier turkey last year...SMH

I order regularly from Amazon. If Prime is that slow I am glad I never paid for it. I don't mind waiting a few days for free shipping.

I'm a happy Amazon prime member, but I want to shout out to Walmart. I order big bags of pet food, and as long as I spend 35.00, they guarantee 2 day free delivery. So far , so good. The prices are the same as in the store.

Occasionally, one of my Prime deliveries takes 3 days, rather than two. When this delay has made a difference and I let them know, I was compensated in some way. Usually, they give me an extra month of Prime.

To compare to QVC,where the delivery is extra long to get to me on the West Coast.....2 days ago, I ordered a pair of Vionic hiking boots from Amazon for 85.94. The same boots sell for 109.96 on QVC. Both sites offer free shipping but I would likely not get them for 10-14 days if ordered from QVC. I got them today, from Amazon.

The difference in price is almost $25, not to mention the tax savings.

@ceekay Lol, I think the mailroom is at USPS, happens to me. SurePost is the slowest delivery, which is when UPS hands things off to USPS.

I am an original Prime member. In all these years they have missed a delivery twice -- and they are here an average of twice a week. Maybe it depends on where you live. (Yes -- I know that with Prime it shouldn't matter.) I think it is still an aberration with Amazon whereas with QVC it has become the norm -- especially since they started sending more and more through the post office.

I have been with a A. prime for a while now and every order thus far has been on time as quoted to me. Very happy with it at this time. 👍👍👍

Well, you know if you're that unhappy you can cancel your Prime membership at any time. I've been an Amazon customer since 1996 and I think they have the best customer service on the planet.

@Kachina624 - guess I better get busy on the mailroom design and construction then! Actually, I rarely have any issues with Amazon. The Q is another story. My recent orders have sat in processing for up to 7 or 8 days before shipping. Then when they finally get to the UPS 2 miles from my house they get transferred to the post office so add 3 days. I guess at $3 you get what you pay for. I rather have a consistent 2 day experience with Amazon (with the occasional outlier).
