Amazon laying off more people

[caryc]

I have ordered a little bottle of Vitamin "A". At first it was supposed to ship by next day "Prime". Then they switched the deliver date to four days later. Juts got another email that it was delayed another four days. I guess Amazon service is going to hell.

Remember, a lot of stuff you order doesn't com from Amazon. It comes directly from the seller. Even if it says prime if you read the disclaimers rapid shipment isn't guaranteed.

I've noticed they often extend the delivery date after you place the order... also there is a little box now on the final place your order page where you actually have to choose a single package delivery if you order more than one item.... sneeky Petes for sure.

I run into that every so often. If it irritates me enough then I spend 5 minutes looking to find out how to chat with customer service, which pisses me off more, so by the time I finally get somebody I'm truly irritated which makes me feel better when I take whatever credit they give me for making my delivery late.

Ive never lived in a place where next day shipping was possible from anyone. Rural Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota. 3 days is usual and a week is required maybe 20% of the time. If it comes out of the Amazon warehouse sometimes it can be here in a day now, but I'm never going to start counting on that.

We actually have been buying from Amazon quite often but their practices make no sense. Recently I ordered batteries for my wrist watches. They shipped two wrist watch batteries, you know how small they are, they came in a envelope inside of a cardboard box that was about 7 inches square. My God, the cardboard had to cost more than the batteries.

That's what Prime accounts are for. free shipping

Seems like Amazon is telling the USPS Here hold my beer when it come to delivering problems.
Last few months we have had several Amazon delivers that have never arrived.

I needed a part for one of our toilets. When I found it on Amazon it said next day delivery with Prime. We have a Prime account so I had my wife order it Friday. They said it would deliver on Sunday. Now they are saying it will be Monday. Guess that's almost next day.🫩🫩
