Same with everything, I ordered some stuff for work via WalMart and Target and both said free 2-day shipping if over 50 bucks. Well, I'm on day 3, WalMart is expected to arrive today and Target says tomorrow.

Every now and then "2 day" becomes "ship the day after tomorrow and then 2 days" but it's rare and I don't know what causes it. But it tells you on the front end in my experience.

I get 1 or same day more often than I experience that.

I leave a 1 star review whenever this happens


So the product is shite because of slow shipping?

Makes sense.

Why don't you review the seller instead of the product then.

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.


Nah they've gotten smarter. While shipping is still 2 days guaranteed, much less inventory is guaranteed to actually ship right away. The 2 day guarantee only applies once it ships. Granted, USPS can still frick them over, but often times they ship an item a day or two earlier than estimated so that even with a USPS lag, you still get the item by the guaranteed two day delivery date, which is almost never actually two days away from your order date.

There’s always 1-2 of their white vans delivering in my complex every day. They come right from the massive DCs by DFW.

When “he” takes 2-3 days after I’ve placed my order to ship it out, it’s his fault.

If you’re in the BR area, your problem is the UPS facility in Port Allen, not Amazon.

A couple of weeks ago something advertised as prime was going to take 5 days or more. I asked them and they said it was because the item was not in a warehouse near me. And this was an item identified as "sold and shipped by Amazon"

WTH Amazon?

Yeah the tech didn't even offer anything for me. In days past I would get that free month or some type of digital credit to my account.

I've lived in Baton Rouge for 4 years and Ruston for 1 as a prime member and still never had anything late. My parents also order off of it and to my knowledge they havent either.
