I expect things in 2-3 days but realistically it never happens without paying a hefty premium.
Amazon's shipping schedule is really bad because they hold your items hostage unless you pay for Prime. It's essentially blackmail to get your item in a reasonable time frame.
As a non-Prime subscriber it usually takes 7-10 days to get an item if you use their free shipping or 5-7 days if you use the cheapest paid shipping option.
The funny thing is, in those non-Prime free shipping cases, the item is usually processed / shipped after 7-8 days and then arrives in 2-3 days.
- r_singh 9y agoThat doesn't sound good. Luckily here in India, I have to pay $8 a year for Prime and most items get delivered within 36 hours.
- nickjj 9y agoI'm in the US and Prime is $99/year.
- WhyNotHugo 9y agoIt's also 99USD/year in Argentina, but we don't get the fast shipping US/India gets. We're also a "poorer" country, I'm not sure what they base their prices on.
- dizzystar 9y agoThe post I answered was about Chinese sellers. A good US-based 3rd party seller will ship ASAP and use USPS flat rate. Amazon is much more than Amazon warehouses and Prime.
