When do you give up hope that your order will arrive today?

It's almost 7 pm.  It's due to arrive by 8 pm.  There will actually be two rather big boxes, so if they do come tonight, I'd like to drag them inside.

 

 

If they don't come tonight (UPS)...I'll be expecting them on Monday morning.  No UPS deliveries on weekends....something I'm learning to expect with Amazon Prime.

Sometimes it's after 9:00 when UPS makes it to my house even though they say by 8:00.  Don't give up yet!

I would give up waiting at 9pm.

I've had them deliver as late as 9:00 even though it says it would be delivered before 7:00..

It's after 8 pm, and I wanted to close my gates for the night.  Checked the tracking, and the new update is that the items will arrive on Nov. 1.

 

I'm losing faith in Amazon Prime.  I seldom get anything in 2 days, anymore.  If a weekend is involved, it can be 4-5 days.

 

Yes, I have complained!  In fact, wrote an email directly to Jeff Bezos.

Can't you go back to the online order and click on the tracking link to see where it is?

We've had two UPS deliveries this week from QVC that were at 9:30-10 pm. We were rather shocked.

I don't understand how UPS not delivering on weekends is Amazon's fault.

@september I'm losing faith in their ability to deliver the Prime eligible stuff in the 2 day time frame. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of my prime orders take longer than the promised date. They have extended my prime renewal by one month, once when I complained. But that didn't change anything. On the other hand, they have been true to their promise to make things right when outside vendors do not pull through on their items both quality and delivery dates. I recently received an item one month after I ordered it. They had already got me a refund, and the vendor told me to keep it with the refund, if it ever showed up.
