@CelticCrafter.  As I said, it's not seriously important and I can wait.

@icezeus.  Until this week, I had never seen the  "unable to load page" warning before either.

Speaking of Amazon...

I just had a package delivered by Amazon. DH thought it was a package for him because he ordered a few items from Amazon for himself.

The funny and unusual bits was that the package was mine...a few items I ordered from QVC! 

1st, there were 3 items in one box...ALL from different orders and categories...electronics, decor & fashion.

I can't remember the last time that happened in the 21 years I have been ordering from QVC!

They were shipped out of the Ontario, California warehouse. Hence, it looks like the holdups and changes that were being made are starting to surface into some improvements.

Still, the real odd bit (to me) is that the package was delivered by Amazon. That was a 1st...

Speaking for myself. My delayed delivery order was not an emergency, but Amazon kept pushing the delivery date out, which is very unusual.

I've actually seen the "Unable to load page" message. It was either last year or the year before. It's not common, that's for sure.

There is usually no wait time with Amazon deliveries in my area.  

I must say though, that there are numerous Amazon warehouses within 5 to 30 miles of my house.  When driving through our area, you can see Amazon buildings every couple of miles right from the highways.

i know lots of people who are Amazon employees.

I sometimes have to wait longer if the seller is a third party who sells on Amazon.  They are located all over, even from other countries.

I just looked it up, there are 96 warehouses/distribution Centers in my area.  Wow!  That's more than I thought.

@Carmie Wow!  That's a lot of distribution centers!! I have a feeling some of them overlap where I live.

How do you find out where distribution centers are?

---

I just looked it up on Google.  They are scattered in the Harrisburg, Middletown and especially the Carlisle area.

There is an Amazon Warehouse in Miami  not too far from me. If the package comes from them I get my delivery pretty quickly.

excluding third party sellers, we generally get good to excellent customer service from amazon overall. we DO have  a warehouse pretty close by and we DO have prime. if we werent sharing our PRIME service with the family, i probably would not pay to have it.

i get things same day, overnight, next day, two days, etc.....

sometimes i take advantage of their service and put the delivery off a few days so i can get their digital rewards.

are there occasions when i dont get a package as anticipated? yes, absolutely. i do like that you can just easily go online and cancel it if it doesnt arrive by the date expected.

i recently had a box arrive that did not contain all the items it was supposed to. they gave me an immediate refund with no questions asked.

Around me, they put in a warehouse about three years ago. Most items came quickly.  

Since efficiency issues caused more and more firings, many packages started being delayed.  Lately, USPS has been delivering Amazon packages.

Today, eight Amazon items were due to arrive. This a.m. two were moved ahead a day for delivery tomorrow. Three items did arrive today in an Amazon truck.  Now the other three items also state that they are arriving tomorrow.

My QVC items from this week all arrived early.
