I'm glad to see this as lately "two day prime delivery" is really three day. Also had another delivery that said it would arrive on a Thursday (!) after ordering on Friday instead come on Friday.
In the 10 years or whatever I've been using Prime I've never had packages take this long as they have been over the last 6 months. Maybe they are testing out new algorithms?
- pasbesoin 10y agoJust to add to your observations. For me, several recent Prime deliveries have taken more than two days. And I live in the still fairly dense outskirts of a major metropolitan area, with an Amazon distribution center maybe 10 miles away.
- petra 10y agoHere in Israel packages take weeks, so I don't have an intuition about this but I'm curious - at what point this fast shipping stops becoming something important, a competitive advantage - 3/2/1 day ? And why ?
- detaro 10y agoIMHO: Predictability is more important than the difference between 2/3 days: if it says "delivery in 2 days", it has to be there in 2 days. If it says 3 days and I need it in 2, then I'll have to find an alternative, but that's better than ordering it, thinking it's going to be there and then it isn't. 1 (next) day is a really nice difference if you need it: e.g. something broke and you want a replacement now, having it the next day is great and saves a trip to the local electronics store.
