Almost all of my orders come from Ontario.  They are behind, slower than usual,  but I've received everything in less than 2 weeks.

@bikerbabe Yes! I was thrilled when they opened that warehouse. They always got many of my orders here with a much shorter wait than when they are shipped from the Midwest. Bummer now. Hope they get it back up to speed.

When they are not having computer issues in Ontario, I get my orders from there very fast.  I live in the Bay Area so was thrilled when they started shipping from Ontario because it made a big difference to have a distribution center on the West Coast rather than everything shipping from the Midwest or East.

@shoekittyAre you aware that Amazon is building a new warehouse close to both of us. It is four or five stories and the top floor, or maybe top 2 stories are offices. Lots of jobs. The only sad thing, for me, is that very rich farmland has been taken away from the county to build it. Farmland and ranches have been the lifeblood of that area since the beginning.

@cody2   I heard a while back Amazon was looking to build in my town. In back of Costco.  On the old garlic and strawberry fields. But they nixed it.  This was during Covid. I wonder if they are going to MH one Watsonville .  What is it near. I could guess

About an hour south of your location.

@shoekittyAbout an hour south of you. But yes, Watsonville is desperately in need of something that would bring jobs and commerce to their city. They still haven't recovered from the flooding awhile back. That area is poverty stricken. Mostly low-income families. flooding last year continues. ETA The last sentence here about the flooding continuing is incorrect. I MEANT to say that all of the damage from the huge storm last year is still having a huge effect on a large percentage of the citizens there.

@cody2   Ahhh, I think I know where, sort of out near a prison, in that general area?   Glad it's not here.  We have enough.  Something's just take our land, and don't pay the city much in taxes. Like outsets.  When they ar egos city gets tax money when they suffer, like now...no revenue.  Lots of,places closing. 

[cody2]

@ shoekitty. Yes. Close. But a little bit north of the prison.

@Laura14   My lock and lock also has not shipped.  The social team told me to check back on Thursday.  I ordered on 6/1, always came from the East coast, and usually shipped in 1-2 days.  Always had it in 5/6 days max.  We shall see.  It's the printed spring pie carrier.  Not a rush, but wanted it before selling out.  I'll check again tomorrow.  

@sunshine45   mine always shipped quickly too.

[RespectLife]

I think it moreso depends on what you order.

I am on the East Coast.

The majority of my orders come from the warehouse in Ontario.  Clothing, makeup, shoes.....

Takes a VERY long time to travel....then it goes right past me....2.5 hours more east to Syracuse....then back to me in Western NY.  Logistics????

Good thing I am never in a hurry for anything from QVC.
