I live within a half mile of a distribution center, and I've had missed 1 day delivery targets.
- toasterlovin 3y agoTheir distribution network is heterogenous. Not all facilities ship orders to customers. Not all facilities that do ship orders to customers stock all product types and sizes.
- catlifeonmars 3y agoLast I checked they were optimized for 2-day delivery. I imagine their 1-day delivery logistics are not quite as robust. In fact, I’d be willing to bet that next day is run by a completely different team.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoWe used to fairly often get 2 or 3 day delivery out here in the sticks (rural central Kansas). Nowadays I get stuff faster if I order it from eBay. Weird thing is, regularly Amazon doesn't ship my order for several days and then when it actually ships it only takes 2 days to get here.
- massysett 3y agoMy guess is that before the order shows as “shipped” in their website, the product is moving through Amazon’s internal logistics network. When to show as “shipped” is a somewhat arbitrary decision when the company runs a sprawling network that delivers to your door.
- riku_iki 3y agoits probably not about distribution center, but how close you are to major warehouse where they stash popular stuff.
