This is sort of a "no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded" criticism. Huge delivery times are because they're getting so many orders (which means so much revenue, which means so much profit).

Huge delivery times are because they're getting so many orders (which means so much revenue, which means so much profit). Is that completely true? I thought the delays were at least partially due to staffing problems (e.g. increased absenteeism, worker social distancing).
- ahmedalsudani 6y agoThat might be the case now but the initial cause was a big spike since people couldn’t or didn’t want to go to stores.
- sytelus 6y ago> Huge delivery times are because they're getting so many orders From my limited probing, it doesn't look like that. Instead my guess is that operations are violently broken right now at Amazon. You can find lot of non-essentials shipping in 2-3 days while a lot more important items with waits exceeding 3 weeks. This would explain Bezos turning off self-drive button and taking the wheels.
- jonas21 6y agoIsn't that because they're sold out of the essential items and don't expect to get enough to satisfy your order for 3+ weeks? Or in other words, they've gotten too many orders.
