But, but.....they will replace 46,000 people with robots and AI ! What could go wrong?! 😉

I don't shop there but a few times a year.

Thanks for that info. I purchase very carefully from Amazon.

Not Amazon related, but one of the issues we've had with our rural mail delivery lately is that, only on Monday, our mail often doesn't get delivered until 6:30 or 7pm. My spidey sense tell me that the mail carriers are are celebrating a little too much football on Sundays.

I had a former colleague that was sitting at the airport when the crash happened. She said it was just awful. I have seen some near misses but never an actual crash.

My heart aches for the families involved. That must be so hard for them with the holidays approaching.

None of my packages have been impacted yet.

I was on a plane that caught on fire and had to make an emergency landing. It was scary as all get out. I traveled for work at the time and was almost a basket case flying after that.

I doubt there's a soul in America that doesn't know about that crash, however, I doubt that had anything to do with my little package. Those huge planes were used for long hauls, overseas and such.

This one was headed for Hawaii.

A lot with Amazon depends on where the things are warehoused. I find bigger furniture items (tables, chairs, etc.) tend to come from Arizona, so they take a while to get here to South Jersey. Smaller stuff tends to be warehoused closer to me (there are like four or five Amazon warehouses wthin an hour of me here.) I get some things the same day I order them. Most things come the next day or so. I placed an order yesterday that could have been delivered today, but they were giving me $1.50 in digital credit if I let them wait until Monday, so that's another $1.50 for Kindle books.

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!

Amazon.com, Inc. has already reported its earnings for the first three quarters of 2025. The fourth quarter (Q4) 2025 earnings report is expected to be released on January 29, 2026.

Key Results for Q3 2025 (reported October 30, 2025)

Amazon's third-quarter results for 2025 exceeded analyst expectations in both net sales and earnings per share (EPS).

Amazon is till on the gravy train. However they might cut some jobs as they want to remain lean and hungry. Wouldn't QVC would like to have some of those stats.

Metric Q3 2025 Result Compared to Q3 2024

Net Sales	$180.2 billion	Up 13%
Net Income	$21.2 billion	Up from $15.3 billion
Diluted EPS	$1.95 per share	Up from $1.43 per share
AWS Sales	$33.0 billion	Up 20%

They have been having problems for a long time now. We have items on Auto Delivery every 2 weeks. Lucky if we get them in 3 -4 weeks.

A couple months ago ordered and item that was to be delivered in 3 days and instead it took 5 weeks ! 😩

When I called customer service 3 different times they offered to refund our money each time.

I said No thank you, we want the item. Finally the 3rd rep got it RUSHED and it was delivered 2 days later !

That is frustrating, especially if you need something fast. Yesterday I ordered Lidocaine patched and was hoping for the option to receive it early in the AM. Nope, they haven't offered that option in my area for awhile. They'll probably show up after dinner.

Amazon ships out so many packages per day and with airport delays it's no surprise to me this is happening. Hopefully it will get better in the next week or so.
