Amazon Shipping - One to Two Months!

[ Edited ]

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.

Re: Amazon Shipping - One to Two Months!

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.
