Amazon is also pushing back delivery dates

I'm a Prime, but never insisted on the supposed two day shipping that went along with Prime. We are in a very off the beaten track area in Upper Michigan. So lately a week is more like their standard delivery window, sometimes more. What is going on?

Maybe it's just your area. I have never had a. Prime deliver take more than 3 days

. It's usually 1 to 2 days. Every now and then, they deliver something the same day I order it.

@depglass , I have Prime and my delivery times are consistent. However, sometimes I will push the time back myself in order to get the digital discount. I save a lot on my kindle purchases. I still get one or two day delivery otherwise.

We have had delays where I live as well. Not just Amazon also from Harry slatkin Homeworx candles. Also QVC. Ordered Boots from HSN and they came very quick though. Amazon actually took 2 weeks to get our delievery.

I live outside a major city with distribution centers all around. Delays and pushback have been the norm for me. Even when told they'll be a two day delivery, I've come to expect it later.

The only weird thing I’ve had happening lately is the last month or two USPS has done some strange routing that has added 3-4 days to deliveries, not specifically Amazon purchases.

We have an amazon warehouse 10 minutes from us. We get a lot of items quickly.

@QVCkitty1 Aren't the digital credits great? I'll happily wait a few extra days for delivery if credits are available. Just checked mine and I have nearly $14 to use through Dec. 31, and I'm sure I'll pick up some more before then. Just rented 3 movies for free this summer!

eta: There are 16 Amazon warehouses/fulfillment centers around my metro area. So if something is promised as "same day," or 1-2 day delivery, it happens in that time frame. Third-party, marketplace vendors don't usually specify the quick delivery.

I'm lucky, never had a problem with an Amazon delievery. I live in a medium size area.

My orders mostly still come in 1-2 days. But if I ever get a message that something is delayed (due to whatever), that pretty much means I'm never going to get it and they cancel it.
