No need to be sad, though. Look at what Amazon donated to your charity from your purchases, then just go give that amount directly to them next year. And then quit buying on Amazon. Everyone wins!
- bombcar 4y agoThis is basically it. Prime has gone to absolute shit (Walmart and Target beat them on delivery AND quality now), and this may have been the last thing keeping me on the platform.
- jxramos 4y agowhat's up with shipping, it's so inconsistent. Are they testing their customers patience or something? It's getting to the point where I'm considering starting a spreadsheet to quantify how poor the experience has been of late.
- hasbot 4y agoUSPS, FedEx, or UPS? USPS is soo erratic and it's not Amazon's fault. I just received a USPS package not from Amazon four days after the initial delivery estimate. It sat at a distribution center for two days.
- bombcar 4y agoFor me where I am they use UPS and once they actually ship it gets here in a few days, but even prime orders don't seem to bother leaving the warehouse for a week or more (for in-stock things). It's like every order is now "Amazon day orders" or something.
- jxramos 4y agoyah they play the whole get a $2 digital credit or whatever for orders. It kind of blurs the expectations too when now it's becoming the norm for things not to meet the 2day shipping expectations that is prime. Things are also blurred in the opposite direction with same day shipping or one day shipping on certain items. It's the inconsistency that's confusing and kind of invites you to stop guessing and just patiently wait like the old days of ordering something through the mail.
- bombcar 4y agoThey used to offer - prime 2 day, slower day, really slow day for $2. The last one is hardly offered anymore, I used to try to game orders to get it but now I get: prime slower day, sometime next year, hahahaha as the options
- beart 4y agoI don't have any evidence to back it up, but my feeling is their push to contractors for deliveries has really degraded the speed, quality, and consistency. I've read a lot of horror stories about how these people are treated, and how little they are paid. It's no surprise quality has dropped.
