Amazon Shipping - One to Two Months!

BunSnoop — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 21:48:02 GMT

I'm not a Prime Member and placed an order for about 6 - 7 various (beauty, household, puzzle, paperback book, etc.) items.

The estimated delivery date is from one to two months. Oh my - I remember a few years ago I would get items within the week. Times have changed. Have you noticed this too with your Amazon orders if your not a Prime Member?

If this is really a serious problem, I'm guessing that they'll get to the bottom of it ... stat.

I dont have Prime either and yes, once in a while it can say it is a one to two month delivery time, but it always comes sooner.

I'm a Prime member and get my stuff really fast but I always check to see when it will arrive before placing my order. Most of the time I get it within two days....sometimes the next day.

However depending on the item it could take weeks. I'm assuming the inventory is low and it has to be made & brought to the warehouse before being shipped out.

I'm a Prime member and receive my items in one or two days. I would never order anything from anywhere if I didn't receive quickly.

Were these Amazon Haul orders? I know those take longer to ship. I've been a prime member for many years and rarely does anything take that long, although once in a great while something might not be available for a month or two. I rarely order when it's like that though. But Amazon has something called Amazon Haul and they are cheaper items but the shipping is considerably slower, which is why you get them much cheaper than normal.

If something is being shipped from China it will‼️

I never order anything being shipped from overseas, especially China.

Amazon doesn't always have much control over vendor orders. While their 'guarantees' aren't what they used to be, I don't believe they ever applied to items being shipped by outside vendors rather than from Amazon directly.

I am a prime member and get my orders timely. I just placed a order last evening and everything was delivered today. The only time my order is delayed has been because there was a problem with the company it came from.

It happens to me and I’m a member. I had to join. I couldn’t afford 35 every time I needed something and 5.99 shipping is out of the question. The 2 day prime shipping is a lie. The best you’ll get is a week.

Sometimes my orders arrive within hours.

Sounds to me Amazon Haul or some third party seller.

Wow that's terrible. I am a Prime member and usually receive items in one or two days - sometimes a few days longer. They even offer same day delivery now. And one recent order was shipped overnight - was at my door early rhe next morning.

And sometimes I'll choose a longer delivery - no more than a week - and receive 6% back on my order.

I'm a Prime member and have never had a problem like the OP's problem.

Before I put anything in my cart on Amazon, I always look at the delivery date and at who's doing the shipping. The delivery info is on each item's web page, & I always read it.

If an item is Prime but out of stock, I order from someplace else if needed.

When an item is Prime & Amazon is doing the shipping, I always get my packages in 1-2 days. I choose Prime items about 98% of the time.

If an item is not Prime & not shipped by Amazon but does have a delivery date within a week, I occasionally order.

If an item has a delivery date longer than a week (like a month or longer), I have not and would not order it. I'd know it would be coming from overseas.

When checking out multiple items at Amazon, there are delivery date options. The items can ship on their individual delivery availability dates or all ship on the latest same date. There's also a $2.99 option for some items to ship a little sooner than their normal date.

Every item sold on Amazon has the expected delivery date on the upper right hand corner. Third party vendors frequently ship from overseas and take that long. Prime member or not, one should keep scrolling.

We too are Prime members and even though we live in a small town I usually get our orders within 2-3 days. I usually look at the delivery dates when checking out and often combine orders into the same delivery dates. I am not usually in a huge hurry for things, so I can wait.

@DeerGirl , absolutely not true! No, not everything is 2 days like it was back in the early days. But some things come literally within hours. Some overnight, some the next day, etc. I ordered two items today and they are due to arrive overnight. The last purchase I made was the exact same way. It all depends on what you are getting and where the warehouses that store those things are in proximity to you. I rarely have to wait 3 days or more for something. Occasionally but not often.
