Amazon Prime is a good value to me, but I still need help with my question! Anyone? (Post #7)

I love Amazon, too, but I have a question about it that I have yet to figure out on my own.

How can you tell where a vendor is shipping their item from? I know that some vendors have information available about them that you can click on from the product page. Many vendors do not, at least not as far as I can tell. A couple of times I have ordered something that was, unbeknownst to me, shipped from China. I don't have a problem with that other than I like to know when something is going to arrive as I often choose gifts from Amazon.

Can anyone help me? TIA.

We're Prime, @ half price with an .edu email address . . . so usually 98% of what we order is 2 day delivery . . . but when it isn't . . . seems when you go to check out there is an estimated delivery date / time frame specified . . . and you select the shipping, usually free and I think it has 2-7 days or sometimes maybe it gives specific dates. Does that help a little? Without going through the steps to order something that is how I recall . . . but again we do Prime most of the time.

I like Amazon too. I find myself going there to look for items instead of hunting for them in stores. They seem to have everything! Just recently my pharmacy told me they no longer carry sterile saline vials that you use in nebulizer to loosen congestion. Low and behold, Amazon had them.

ITA. I have Prime & it's like the package is on my doorstep even BEFORE I press 'confirm order'! Ha....it's that quick!

Amazon and Nordstrom are the best! Both are fast and good customer service.
