Its funny how people are complaing about the shipping yet lets look at it this way
your membership is $100 a year If you dont have Prime and want free shipping your order on prime goods has to be $50 or more The amount you would have to spend on shipping or the amount of $50 purchases you would need to do already takes care of $100 think of any other online business that is as simple as this for shipping |

I order an enormous amount of stuff on Prime. When the seller is Amazon, it ships fast and is there in two days. When the seller is a third party, sometimes it takes them a few days to get it shipped, but then they do two day shipping. You can argue with Amazon about it, and they'll apologize, but I've never gotten anything better out of them. On numerous occasions I have been given an extra month of prime. My prime membership don't end until November of 2017 and at least 4 months of that is from them "extending" my membership due to slow ship times. I have also called and been given an "upgrade" to 1 day shipping that actually put the item on track for what it should have been on prime anyways. It's a hassle sometimes but the majority of times I don't have any issues plus you get the prime videos and whatnot. To me the service is worth it for all you get. I mean I pay the same (roughly) for Netflix and I only get tv shows/movies. Prime I get that plus I get (usually) two days shipping. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not claiming I know more than I really do.. In the PNW region, Amazon dropped most of their volume with Fedex. Boss of a boss of a boss said they acquired 30 or so aircraft and are in the process of establishing their own delivery service. Not sure if it's like that all over though. The majority of amazons freight gets pulled by a handful of trucking companies. They do have trailers that get pulled by 3rd party but no trucks, it's cheaper to farm it out than run it. Fed ex and ups cost to much to move freight. Over The last holiday season I pulled Amazon freight exclusively and it was a clusterfuck of epic proportions. I can see why the major carriers want no part in Amazon freight. As far as the airplanes go I don't really see it, it's extremely expensive to move air freight and super cheap to move freight by truck. This would explain the 2-5 day wait on some prime items. The item may not show it has shipped until it hits the fed ex,ups,usps hub. Then it gives those carriers time to get the package delivered on time. |

I almost always receive my stuff two days after ordering it. I've had them ship stuff overnight the next day to make the two day mark. There are occasionally larger items that are clearly marked 4 day shipping, I get those 4 days after I order them. I have had problems with USPS not delivering stuff on time, but that's on USPS, not Amazon.

2 day shipping doesn't mean it'll get there in 2 days. It could take a few days to process... and if it's over the weekend, forget anything happening on a Sunday.

The only thing they do that irritates me is when you order 2 day prime, but it's a local shipment so they hold it for a day before shipping so it still gets to you in two days. My guess is they queue it up for the next day, knowing it will only take 1 day so they can prioritize other shipments, but it's still annoying. That said, i didn't pay for 1 day guaranteed shipping, so how much can i truly complain about that?
Otherwise, I've only ever had one time where it was late. That was because they chose UPS ground instead of a 2 day shipping method to guarantee me the 2 day delivery. It showed up in 4 days. I bitched to them about that because that was their fault for choosing the improper shipping method. I got credited a month of free prime. Honestly, 2 day free shipping is more than worth it, even if you get hit by a problem now and again. Go see what it costs you for 2 day shipping from most places. Yeah, that shit ain't cheap. |

Been a long time Prime member. I would say about 99% of the time I get my stuff in 2 days from the date of shipping. There have been issues, and it seems its usually UPS that has the issues. I've noticed many times that UPS will change the receive date, after the item has shipped.

I've gotten free months of Prime several times when Amazon-sold items didn't show up in 2 days. The last time was a couple pairs of jeans, and after a week, they sent me an email apologizing and giving me a free month, and said they were shipping out a duplicate shipment since the first one was seemingly lost. A week later, that order had also failed to show up, and they sent yet another, but also refunded me for the price. So I got the jeans for free, though they did request that if either of the first two orders ever showed up that I return them. (And no, neither of the first two shipments ever did arrive.) |

Not sure about you guys, but my 2 day shipping is two day shipping. I can get one day and same day also. They deliver Saturdays and Sundays for me too.
If I order something with 2 day on say Friday, I get it Sunday. Of course I only order things fulfilled by Amazon and that is prime eligible. |

You'll pay more for the prime shipping, despite the already paid membership that supposedly provides free 2 day shipping.
Amazon doesn't always have the best prices, particularly with prime shipping items. You pay 99 bucks, and then $7-8 more for the item top ship with prime shipping. |

I love Amazon Prime.
I live near the Allentown warehouse and if I order something that is there, I get it the next day. I just ordered a book last Tuesday for my daughter's summer reading, "Al Capone Does My Shirts". I ordered it around Tuesday 3pm. The book arrived UPS Wed 12pm. Literally less than 24 hours. I've ordered plenty of things Prime that have come the same way, next day, about 24 hours from me pressing the "Purchase" button. I can probably count on 1 hand the number of times items have not hit the 2 business day window. I've been using Prime since it first launched. IMO, one of life's most convenient services. |

Some 3rd party sellers can be slow shipping the package, and that sucks, but they've always used two-day shipping.
You guys can hate on prime all you want. Go ahead and cancel it. Enjoy your free 6-11 business day shipping on orders over $50. I'll take my prime shipping any day of the week, including Sundays. First world problems...

I have prime, a fulfillment center is literally 20 miles from my front door. I live in a city adjacent to one of the busiest trucking routes in the state. I'm not in the middle of no where. I have placed 43 orders in the past 6 months. Taking out the non prime purchases I have 38 prime purchases. I did not include the date of purchase in the calculation. 2 arrived in 1 day 16 came in 2 days 9 came in 3 days 4 came in 4 days 3 came in 5 days 1 came in 6 days 2 came in 8 days 1 came in 9 days This was a bulky item so I understand a delay. eta Obviously I use the heck out of it. Don't get me wrong, for me the prime membership is worth every penny. But the shipping times are, in my personal experience, slowing down. |
