For those of you who love to brag about Amazon's fast deliveries and compare them to QVC.  I ordered a 25lb bag of dog food, 12 cans of canned and some treats on Friday. Got a guaranteed delivery date of today.  The USPS lady showed up with all except the 25lb bag as it was sent UPS Innovations. About 4pm I got an email that the 25lb bag would be delayed.  Looks like Amazon is approaching a downhill slide.  This was a Prime order.

My order came in 2 days but says it was delivered to the mailroom.  I live in a house and do not have a mail room (or if I do, I have no clue where it is).  They told me to wait until tomorrow in case it really is still in transit.  And then they will refund/replace.  I have also had orders arrive in 3 or 4 days versus 2 days.

LOL, even with the extra day which does occasionally happen it doesn't compare to QVC who can't even process an order to be picked up by the shipping company in 3 days except on rare occasions, let alone deliver anything within a week.

I placed a small order (cosmetic item) around last Friday.  Showed it would be delivered on Sunday, by 8 p.m.   Didn't get here even though the tracking showed it was picked up in the next town which is maybe 5 miles away.  Today it shows it will arrive in a few days.  That usually doesn't happen with Amazon.

I should add that my QVC order for the Mally TSV on Sept. 5 is still "in process" and it is now the evening of the 11th.

I'm glad to get my Amazon deliveries in 2-4 days (not a Prime member), but I wouldn't say I'm bragging by saying that.  I mean, it's not like I own or run Amazon, so how would their quick deliveries to my address be a source of personal pride for me?

As far as QVC goes, they do take forever, but that is not the only reason I don't often order from them.  Their selection isn't that great and neither are their prices.  I used to really love their jewelry selection, but I rarely see anything I like at a decent price anymore.  Sometimes I see a beauty bundle that would be a good deal if I wanted all of the products that came with the kit, but if I'm paying extra for something I didn't want anyway, it's not really a deal for me.  As far as the clothes go, what if they don't fit?  Then I have to pay to return them.  And at other sites I can fill up a cart and get free shipping, but not here.  In other words, it's not just the slow shipping that's a problem.  

I still keep a wish list and I take a gander at what they have here sometimes, but there just isn't enough incentive for me to order from QVC very often anymore.

@jaxs mom  Occasionally?  My last order, all Prime, took 5 days to be delivered.  It's gotten to be more than occasional.

@ceekay   You'd better hurry and get that mailroom built onto your house or you'll never get another package.

How funny i dont come here often and when i just did i see this..I just hung up with Amazon cancelling my membership because i do not want it to renew when this one ends and they have no auto renewal shut off i guess........The service here in ca is getting so bad now i have decided to go with Jet.com and see if they do better or vitacost for my needs....I order a few times a week many times and lately they are doing ups to post office now and i dont get my orders when they say i will......Sat i was suppose to get some enzymes i take to help digest food and they didnt show up....CS called usps and they said there was a mix up and they would deliver today well so far nothing and my order still shows wrong address undeliverable?!I have not had a Amazon driver deliver my orders in a month so makes me wonder if buying whole foods is causing this?.

I guess we have been very lucky so far. Up until about a year ago, we never got Sunday deliveries unless it was an overnight/2-day shipment around Christmas.

Now we get them regularly from Amazon Prime. At least the majority of deliveries are on time, so no complaints.

Last year we had a MIA QVC package around early November. UPS dropped the ball 60 miles from us. The package was never found and I had to order another.

It was a 25 lb portable Masterbuilt smoker! MIA? Not likely...

So, someone in UPS was smoking thier turkey last year...SMH
