even though it says 2 day shipping.... they take an extra day but don't explain what for.

Ordering a very common in stock item now and it says 2-day shipping guaranteed by Sunday Aug 5. The last several items I've ordered, same bullshite.



To clarify, Im not talking about items arriving a day later than they said. Im talking about at the time of the order it says expedited delivery for date of 3rd day from order. It used to ALWAYS say "Free 2-Day Shipping" delivery by day 2. That is no longer the way Amazon lists the shipping options. They changed it.

Call them and tell them every time it happens. You will typically either get 10% off the order or a month free of Amazon Prime.

depends on how lazy your local USPS is. My girlfriend can go to the post office and raise hell and they will go get her package out of the back. usually it will be days for her if it says arrived at post office to when it says out for delivery.

It's gotten a lot worse since I joined years ago. Almost nothing is actually 2 day shipping.

Same for me. If it's an item common enough to be here in the local warehouse, it's less than 2 days. Which has been everything lately.

Used to be you could place an order by 6pm on a Thursday and it would be there on Saturday.

Now it's place an order by 7am on a Wednesday for it to arrive on Saturday.

I've quite literally never had anything late. Most of my stuff is next day at worse. Order by 8AM or so gets there that afternoon.

It was always 2 business days. What's the problem here?

ETA - The fact that you're ordering it on Thursday at 2:30 and it will be in your hands on Sunday is actually a small miracle.

the only time my deliveries are late are when they are "out for delivery", and then by 8 or 9 PM on a rainy day, a notification that there was a delivery truck delay pops up on my phone. No big deal, as I assume is due to weather caused traffic frick ups.

It also isn't worth the $100ish you pay

i was getting 2-3 day shipping w/o prime. and their shows are crap, their movie selection are crap, and you have to pay for the music. LOL

The problem is that it’s 2 days from when it ships. So if you order something on Monday, and those lazy asses don’t ship it out until Wednesday, you’ll get it on Friday but it’ll still be 2-day shipping. I leave a 1 star review whenever this happens.
