That depends entirely on location. I've maybe had one item delivered late in the last two years, and most of what I bought recently has been free overnight ship

Yeah, it must depend on location. But I'm in Seattle—Amazon central—and overnight has recently come to mean 3 days or more. Not always, but regularly. This is the year when I started keeping a spreadsheet of the stated delivery dates vs. the actual delivery dates, because they sort of silently update them and I want some sort of evidence that I'm being gaslit. It's not even that I urgently need the packages, it's more that I need a predictable schedule so that I can plan on being home to pick them up.

  Also in Seattle - I've never had that experience. Literally ordered something last night with next-day shipping, and it arrived in the early morning. Once in a blue moon something outright disappears, but so it goes with 20+ orders per month...

  > Seattle—Amazon central You need to be near Amazon warehouses, vs Amazon HQ Or maybe they're short on drivers in your area?

It’s not just location or lateness - though I’ve had lateness on almost every order. I don’t even care if it takes longer it’s if the delivery is estimated for three days, don’t tell me there is a five day delay the day of the delivery. Last month I had every single subscription switch addresses and had to fix multiple items I didn’t catch - in part because they’ve been coming to my address for a while. And then fixing required that the wrong items arrive before they would be willing to take any action on the problem. This month I had another regular order and one subscription order get spontaneously canceled and refunded.
