    Average of 10 days from order time to arrival here in Montana. Nothing less than 6 days. Not sure why I'm paying $119 per year for Prime. Not happy at all.... I've resorted to buying stuff from Ebay to get it here quicker. #firstworldproblemsrant

    I am still getting stuff generally 2-3 days if the product is labeled Prime.

    The stuff that isn't eligible for Prime is all over the map for delivery dates. Some comes quickly and some is like a month out.

    They warned everyone at the beginning of this crap that they'd be prioritizing shipments so some stuff wouldn't be the normal 2 days. That being said it's getting better as more places get back to normal and the hoarding has calmed down.

    I’m not sure I’ll renew my Prime membership. Only basic shit is 2-day ship anymore for me, and the streaming service is hot garbage for the most part. I’m finding that target or specialty sites are usually cheaper or at least close in price and they ship out just as quick.

    Shipping with all the major companies had gone to Hell in the last few months . I had to return a few damaged packages recently. They looked like they fell off a moving truck . Yesterday for example , waiting for interior lights delivery from two different sources . First one , I hear a loud thud in my garage . Driver must have just thrown the package and took off . Luckily it was packed extremely well and no damage , but WTF ...
    then a hour later I get a call from a company about 20 miles from my house saying my “ other” delivery was dropped of at their business . So I drove the 40 miles round trip to retrieve my item . I’m pretty much sick of this crappy service . :confused:

    Lemme guess - FedEx Ground?

    I've gotten two large things with holes in boxes, given the weight it's not all that surprising but the dent in the griddle frame was annoying. However a dead blow hammer fixed it right up, wasn't about to wait to replace it. Food needed cooking :D

    I was impressed the Prime driver that delivered it and the UPS guy that did my trailer tires had enough sense to back down the drive to the garage and drop them there. The Prime one that delivered the tow bar for the Suburban was stupid and carried it up a dozen steps to the porch.

    We live in the middle of nowhere and Amazon has been fine even when it comes from their west coast warehouse. And I avoid Wally world at all costs!

    This is true. I don't particularly like supporting these huge monolithic companies but Walmart does get stuff to you quicker at the moment.

    One plus of living in Louisville. We're the UPS hub and they handle the packages for many carriers. If it takes me three days to get anything that's crazy long.

    Was that declarative or interrogative?

    I was implying that they were both.....but if I have to I'd prefer the one that gets the delivery to me sooner.
