Amazon Shipping - Page 4

I'm guessing it's not just about the positions eliminated, but also your proximity to Amazon warehouses.

I live in the Greater Los Angeles area, and we have about 5 warehouses in the region. If one warehouse doesn't have something I want, I'm sure the others probably do.

Well, my issue isn't with Amazon, but it is with the post office.

I ordered a Kuhn Rikon kitchen item on 11/30. It apparently shipped on 12/2 and it made it from Virginia to NJ on 12/6.

And, as of today, it's in the Opa Locka FL distribution center!!!

I'm in New England. I hate to tell the post office, but they're going in the wrong direction! Where next? Cuba???

I'll be amazed if I get it in a week or two. It reminds me of the time this past year that they sent a package that was a couple hours away, clear across the country to the midwest. Then sent it on a magical, mystery tour back to me.

There is no rhyme or reason to the incompetence sometimes.

Yes, Amazon has been off on their shipping in recent months.

We are Prime Members and our items often take longer than the 2 days to get here. We often get notifications saying certain items have been delayed.

However, there are plenty of times when we get same-day delivery, which is also crazy to me. All in all, it beats the shipping time of most companies out there.

Yep I definitely noticed a delay in shipments. We are very rural and we just got Amazon deliveries a year ago. Things always take a few more days but lately everything is 7-10 deliveries.

The 30,000 layoffs are all corporate positions, not line working people. They wouldn't

have an effect on shipping and deliveries.

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!
