Yes, I'm not exactly living in Manhattan. That said I've never had such issues before, including during the pandemic - after all I started using Amazon for good reasons, though those advantages have been declining for a while now. Only around Christmas time the delivery times increased sharply and never went back to normal levels as they usually do. For a few parts I just can't get in a shop I tried other platforms and that made a difference. They often have a hard time competing with shipping fees, but that is a tradeoff I'll gladly take.
