- Scoundreller 3y agoWhere? I'm in southern Ontario Canada, and my orders usually take 2-3 days and I'm not even using Prime. Turns out there's no value in holding something in a warehouse when you have it ordered. I think all Prime gets you is: 1. if the product is in a distant warehouse, Amazon will bring it over by plane instead of rail/truck. 2. Your orders are de-prioritized if they're over-subscribed (e.g. Christmas holidays, pandemic online shopping, Prime day)
- pessimizer 3y agoMy last three Amazon orders took between something like a week and a half and three weeks. They probably were actually my last three Amazon orders. I'd rather go to the store.

- ngokevin 3y agoIn my experience, a median item costs $15 on Amazon and $3 on Temu, while both being stuff manufactured in China for cheap.
