What happened to fast delivery? Yesterday I ordered two gifts for people out of town and the delivery dates were 12/27 to 1/9. Both items were being shipped from Amazon. I'm not a Prime member but this is a long time. So much for buying Christmas gifts from Amazon.

Perhaps they are coming from a vendor.

You can see delivery dates on product pages as well as before you click to buy items.

@CalminHeart It said they were being shipped by Amazon. Anyway I saw the delivery dates and hesitated but both gifts are for teens who had these on their lists. Teens are so picky that they are hard to buy for. I checked with their mother before I ordered and she said go ahead, it didn't matter if they came late. Maybe I'll be lucky and they will arrive earlier than noted.

We had a brand new Amazon distribution center open last summer 70 miles from me. FedEx trucks come from that area as well.

I usually group mine to a designated delivery day or energy saving day, a bit longer. Living in a small town I appreciate the fact I can order almost anything I rarely need it immediately. My Amazon is usually USPS or if heavy UPS.

I agree... it depends on the seller as mentioned, some longer ship times. I ordered some faux holiday plant picks. The earliest was Wednesday but one was January 9th?

We too are prime members but that doesn't always help when dealing with delivery services in remote areas like we are. I know things are tougher than usual this year, many of the delivery people are third party workers in our area. . . add to that the snow and ice coupled with my dangerous private road . . . I fully understand. I expect a phone call from Matt-our UPS driver- daily! He calls and I meet him at the mailbox! LOL!

I ordered something late last night and it was at my door early this morning. I find it amazing how fast Amazon delivers.

There are occasional delays, but that's usually because of the manufacturer's backlog.

I'm a Prime member. Have been for many, many years. Enjoy all that Prime offers besides quick delivery. I don't have a problem with Amazon shipping. Still 2 days for me. We have warehouses in our area. If I don't need it right away, I push out the delivery for the points. Great way to pay for gifts, and yes I do shop local also.
