Has anyone had problems with orders from Amazon taking a lot longer?  I have prime and my last two orders took about 2 to 3 weeks to arrive.


 

 

yes @isaboo ......it is pretty rare now that i get anything in a day or even 2 days. most items are taking about 3 days to a couple of weeks......and i am talking PRIME items.

I have Prime and my orders are taking a little bit longer, but not bad considering what's going on.  I ordered a pair of Alegria sandals on May 24 and received notice that delivery is tomorrow, the 29th.  That's 5 days.

 

As far as waiting 2 to 3 weeks for delivery, did you check the delivery date before you ordered?  I've noticed things on backorder with delivery dates a month away or more,  but I just move on to another seller.

I think it depends what you buy from Amazon. I have received things quickly and others take a week or longer.....

Amazon has been listing the ship/arrival date on product pages.  They have also been prioritizing orders so high priority items related to pandemic needs are shipped first. A lot of things aren't available right now but will be in the next week or two....some even longer.  Yes, their prime shipping hasn't been prime during the pandemic but it's all detailed on product pages and the cart.

I have a heavily used Prime account but even I was surprised that I got 10 lbs of hummus bears in less than 24 hrs yesterday.
