    Anybody disgusted with amazon prime delivery ?

    Shame that we still pay for what used to be 2 day delivery w/prime membership.
    The sad fact that 90% of things we order never make it to the house in less than 3-4 days or longer, even when checking out shows delivery two days away.
    When I ask amazon where’s my package they try to blow it off or offer a small discount to make up for it.
    If I need a repair part asap I’m counting on delivery as told.
    How about y’all ? Do you expect to get what you pay for ??

    I’ve had pretty good luck here. Video, Music, and delivery OVERNIGHT. However, I’m close to a warehouse, too.
    Sometimes they slip. I’ve noticed where their pricing sometimes is same as retail, as well as shipping is higher. All in all, they’re keeping goods flowing IMHO.

    Prime shipping is definitely NOT what it used to be. Sometimes it takes days to just get out of the warehouse and get to the shipper. But it's not just Amazon. I have a part that is supposed to be delivered today but it's stuck in CT 400(?) miles away.

    We, normally, get our Prime deliveries in 1-2 days...sometimes overnite if order is placed before 2PM...but we're only about two hours from Amazon's Chicago distribution center. Biggest delays seem to come when order is shipped from an outside source and handed off to USPS for delivery. I've had stuff arrive as much as two days after tracking showed delivery to our local PO branch (4 miles away).

    I'm far enough out to KNOW that being a PRIME member would have NO benefits for me, so I've never became a member.

    Amazon's orders have gone WAY up in the last 18 months. This fact coupled with the USPS slowdown and the other carriers being overwhelmed. I chalk it up to more "Supply Chain" problems. The bad part is that it's only going to get far worse as we approach the Christmas holiday.

    When we are in Michigan . . . it takes longer

    When we are in Arizona . . . we get it quicker

    I put a lot of that on just where the distribution centers are located and order volume

    Only reason I keep prime is because we can select what "Free" Movies and old TV programs we want to watch. 2 Day shipping averages 7 to 10 days for us at either the Montana or Southern Nevada houses.

    I have been very pleased and I live in the middle of the state forest in northern MI. I have been ordering air gun pellets that have taken three weeks or so to deliver but that was noted when I placed the order...they shipped free. Last item was a walker and it arrived in two days, as promised. If an item cannot arrive in two days, it is flagged when ordered so we can decide to accept the longer lead time or cancel the order.

    I am glad some people are complaining....maybe they well drop Prime and improve delivery times for those of us who appreciate not having to drive 50 miles return trip (to a city of 4000 that may not have what we want anyway) to get stuff.

    Same here. I have actually received items in 3 days before. But I joined for free shipping, photo hosting, and the TV. My Prime membership is cheaper than Netflix and has better selection of TV shows and movies, plus comes with the music, free shipping, and photo hosting.

    I will gladly wait a couple of days more for stuff in exchange for living in a nearly crime-free rural area.

    We are in unique times. High prices, poor service and sporadic inventory. And I don’t see it improving soon.

    There is hidden value here that many fail to realize.
    One thing that I don't like about Amazon delivery, is the seedy looking characters that show up to make the deliveries. Usually a bunch of 'woke' looking city boys that make me wonder if they're casing my hood during business hours. No problems so far, so it must just be me judging people by their looks. I do that because it works for me.

    I was a Prime member for years then dropped it due to slow deliveries. Two years ago they offered a military discount on Veterans Day so I rejoined. Promises continued to be broken so I didn’t rejoin Prime. I might rejoin if they offered another promotion.
