So my experience is that only 1 out of about 1000 times have my deliveries taken more than next day when it says next day, and almost everything I order has a next day option. So is this a locality issue, or just two competing anecdotes, and if its anecdotes then what is the actual statistical reality.
- lukevp 3y agoAmazon delivery estimates have been extremely accurate for me, in both Austin, TX and Portland, OR. Both places I was within 20 miles of a distribution center. We moved to Portland in early 2021 and it was a bit rough for like 6 months but it got sorted. They had some issues with their drivers apparently but I forgot about it until just now, since it’s been a non-issue. Lots of the deliveries come in electric rivians direct from Amazon. Occasionally a 3rd party person in their own car will deliver, and occasionally UPS will.

- windowsrookie 3y agoI canceled my prime over a year ago, so my deliveries taking 3-4 days was likely during and shortly after covid. Which certainly could have had an affect. I understand that staffing and inventory was difficult during that time. So I would not be surprised if prime delivery is back to 1-2 days now. But, I still have no desire to purchase prime again. All it did was encourage me to buy things I really didn't need. Simply being able to buy almost anything at any time is not healthy for me. When it's 11pm and I suddenly have a desire to start a new hobby and buy a bunch of products to support it, I can no longer fill my Amazon shopping cart and click buy. The added friction of having to wait until stores open the next day means I completely forget about it before I waste my money.
