Amazon delivery change.... - Page 2

I have seen Amazon trucks and the smaller sized vans in my neighborhood daily. Lots of deliveries to my house and lots of others too.

At least your packages are being delivered. My friend sent me a package through Amazon which was supposed to be delivered on Wednesday. She said she keeps getting emails saying it would be delivered the next day with apologies. It's Monday and still no package and she is a Prime member. She's thinking of cancelling the order.

@Biftu

Same with me....email and tracking says delivering 'today'...said that for 4 days in a row. Fed Ex even though we have Amz trucks in our development every day.

Then status changed to carrier never received merch.

Had to request a credit and reship. Both items were 'ships from Amazon'

So much for Prime shipping and service.

Must be a regional thing/depending on where you live/if you live near a distribution center.

I order from Amazon several times a week. Sometimes delvery by Amazon, other times by usps. My only gripe is the occasional time when delivery comes late in the evening. (Like 10PM or later).

In the last month, out of 15 purchases, only 2 were deliverd by an Amazon driver. The rest came either UPS or USPS. My orders were a wide range of stuff and all said "ships from Amazon".....

I don't even see too many of their trucks on the road. Could it be the high gas prices that had them switch back to other delivery services?

I am still getting one or two day deliveries even with UPS and USPS...

Anyone one else?

You are 100% correct on this and it has been the pattern for about 4 months in my big metroplex. USPS also delivers for UPS around here. It is cheaper. We also have amazon contractors driving their own vehicles to deliver and the white unmarked Amazon delivery trucks. I find that anything delivered or processed by the USPS here is a day or two slower than they claim it will be. I live in a huge mail hub but our service is known to be terrible since the pandemic. But I will say that our newish young postal carrier was out walking through the snow a few weeks ago when the ice and snow storm hit this normally warmer climate town.

Detachment isn't the absence of love but the ability to take care of yourself in the midst of someone else's choices.

@RespectLife Yes, and all that great service and delivery for $139.

@RespectLife Although personally I have only ordered from Amazon a few times, it would be fine with me when the package arrived as long as it was within a reasonable timeframe. The issue is that they generally promise next day delivery and then it keeps getting pushed back or doesn't even arrive. Just be honest about the delivery date.

I live in WA state (NOT Seattle) and i see Amazon and Amazon Prime trucks through my neighborhood almost daily and often 2 or 3 times.

Shippers everwhere and merchants are scrambling to do what it takes to get packages to us.

It seems that problems and solutions vary widely and are probably due to regional warehouses and shipping carriers that vary from place to place. Along with weather problems in the winter, wrecks etc.

And throw in a few crooks who steal loads of stuff!
