Amazon Prime warning

Seannie — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 19:31:42 GMT

Ordered a supplement on Tuesday, Checkout said would be delivered Thursday. It was actually delivered late Saturday via USPS snail mail.

Those of you who order from Amazon lots may know they deliver by the Post Office. This was a surprise to me. Not sure why I pay for Amazon Prime when they don't deliver as they promise. Could have ordered from a cheaper source if I had known they would deliver slowly with the Post Office.

I dont have Prime and still get my orders within 2 to 3 days, that is quick enough for me and I get free shipping over $35.

I have Prime. I order very frequently, and still get my orders the very next day, or 2 to 3 days.

I've never ordered supplements from Amazon, so perhaps it depends what you order.

@Seannie. I've had that happen several times lately. I get a speedy delivery date, then a notice that "there's been a delay". In a day or two the USPS comes bungling up with my package. Meantime the Amazon prime truck was at my house 3X Friday.

That Post Office delivery is a royal pain.....since I have to DRIVE to my PO Box.

If I wanted to get in my car.....I would have gone out and bought the item from a regular store.....

Funny,we ordered something yesterday from Prime. Today (Sunday) on our way home the flag was down on our mailbox. Thought the wind blew it down. Later when we checked our order said it was in our mailbox. We have left instructions w/Prime to deliverer to our door. So round and round w/CS. And CS said those were the instructions about the door. We were not too happy.

Agree! We used to have Prime but no longer. Don't see the point.

I LOVE❤ Prime because I get some of my essentials there at a significant savings, and the free shipping is an added bonus!👍 Those savings are worth it!! 😁

Amazon has been doing that for a long time now. When they use the PO I get the package a day later than the said delivery date.

We have Prime and love it. AND where we live they have been shipping some things by post office and we have NEVER had an issue. Mostly it is in the Prime trucks which are all over here and come by every day.

We are lucky and have a huge warehouse in Oklahoma City. I can't imagine being without it now. The mail carrier orders from them too and gets Amazon gift cards from us because he is such a blessing on our route.

We are Prime members and wouldn't have it any other way. We order a lot in addition to having monthly subscriptions of assorted repeat items. Everything is usually quite quick unless there is a legitimate delay. No complaints here.

Prime members since the beginning. We have a warehouse in our state. I usually get stuff like ensure, mop refills, & other cleaning stuff, etc. the same day. If I order by 9:00am, I will get it same day at 7:00pm. The longest 2-3 days. They still come in the Amazon box and not with my mail. For years we're with Prime. Love it. Wouldn't have it anywhere else. And free shipping of course.

I don't have Prime and never will.

I will only order my kindle books that come via the web. My last three orders from Amazon were incorrect by their error or lost by the post office.

Walmart is my new best friend. I don't miss the smile since they constantly took mine away.

Love Amazon right from the beginning. No complaints from me.

We have had Amazon Prime for many years. Never a problem. Love it. Next day delivery or 2 day. Great delivery time along with all the other perks. Can’t beat it.

I also love Prime for movie streaming and Thursday NFL games. Some of those games are only on Prime.

Obviously you don't understand how Amazon and Amazon Prime work. Everything on the Amazon platform is not eligible for Prime delivery. It sounds like you ordered from a third party sellers that and your item wasn't eligible for Prime. I've been shopping from the very beginning, since the time when they only sold books. But I still experience this if I'm not careful enough when I order. It happened in February with my niece's birthday present. Amazon customer service bailed me out. They are the best! They canceled the one that wouldn't arrive for a week and sent me one from the Amazon warehouse. I got it the next day. Late around 8pm but I got it.

Sorry to bust your bubble of happiness, but, just when U get used to a certain person, business, etc. They get replaced, retire, die, business closes down, etc.

Nothing stays the same and this old f*rt hates that.

I have had Amazon for many years, and have no plans on not renewing my prime subscription, even though the price has increased significantly from when I first joined many years ago.

I have my deliveries delivered on my Amazon day that I selected, and I have not had a problem. Every now and then I will have items delivered to an Amazon Locker. My last delivery was delivered by USPS, which over the last few years I have noticed that they have utilized that delivery method occasionally.

@Seannie Sorry you didn't get your supplement timely & from the post office which you weren't expecting.

I ordered a set of nightgowns which were on their daily deals earlier this week but when I checked out they gave me several options for different day deliveries and the one I chose also gave me a higher cash back from my credit card and like you, it came via the post office.
