Have you noticed faster Amazon Prime deliveries?

I recently watched a very interesting Amazon Factory/distribution Center video on YouTube. They stated that they were trying to increase the speed of their two day deliveries.   I just finished placing four or five separate orders and they will all be here tomorrow

The past two times, I got my orders the next day.  I was startled because It had slowed down a bit.  We have distribution center somewhere in my state.  Because I normally get it quite fast. It has really speeded up though!

 

During the early days of Amazon, I would order early in the morning.  By nightfall I would get it delivered (same day)

LoL  We're special states!  I don't know where mine is.  I'm think it's closer to DC.  Where ever it is, I order and it comes fast!

No, I ordered 5 small common items Wednesday and everything will take 2-5 days before I get the whole order.  I don't consider that speedy at all.

not in Vermont, no Amazon trucks here at all!  Mostly delivered USPS or UPS

Amazon prime does a great job for me. No complaints at all. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I live near a major distribution center so it’s almost always very fast, sometimes same day or next day. Most deliveries are Amazon trucks.
Late last night I realized we were out of K cups. I put in an order at 11 PM and they were on the doorstep at dawn.

no, actually, i have noticed a lot of delays lately and less one day deliveries.

we have a warehouse in our city also.

 

a couple of weeks ago a driver left four boxes in the pouring rain at my house outside of my garage door instead of the usually covered porch drop off.

Re: Have you noticed faster Amazon Prime deliveries?

Most times I'm in no immediate need of an order, so I opt for combined slower delivery.
