I don't about anyone else, but Jeff's Prime 2-day shipping has turned to 7-day+ in the last year for me. Anybody else?

Iām guessing the Rona has things screwed up. It has taken a little longer for some stuff.

Yeah, their website has a big disclaimer saying that shipping will take longer based on what you're ordering. I'm assuming that "essential" things get highest priority.

I've never had it later than it's stated when I have purchased it, but I have had some items arrive a lot faster than expected. I had ordered some roller dollies to move my couches and they said they'd be there in two days. They were there less than 15 hours later.

Only if you're an essential business. I ordered face shields and since I am not essential, it took a week, or so, but it was within the time frame they stated, so no big deal. I won't be back to work before June 1, and possibly not before July 1. Waiting to hear, but at least I have my stuff ready. The cosmetologists and barbers are freaking out on TDLR's facebook page about not being ready to open....yet, they were complaining about being closed and unable to open after his April 27th press conference. It's nuts.

gave up on them when they raised the cost of prime and bezos made some stupid statements that completely shut me down on using amazon.
now with the cheeneese wuhan flue I refuse to even open amazon other than to price compare, most of their stuff is higher than wal mart and other retailers (that shipping is not free just because you have prime).
don't use them, won't use them.

Amazon Prime is a great convenience plus you get the online TV and music benefits. We watch a ton of good programming on Prime. I use Business Prime for tons of misc purchases at work it is really good.

Although I've done a lot of shopping on there in the past, I mostly use it just for the music streaming service now. I don't even have a radio in my truck anymore. I stream what ever I'm in the mood for that day, pretty much where I want. ZERO commercials and talk, which is what I'm usually looking for. Pandora and the likes have all these stipulations, just play me some damn music! It's not perfect, but works out very well. Between Podcasts and Amazon music (or other streaming platforms), I don't know why there is even terrestrial radio any more.

I've been using Amazon and Prime for a long time. I used to travel a lot with my job and only shopping I could do was online.
Amazon has always done pretty well until the last year or so. Now if you buy something the next time you go to buy they may have raised the price. Not always but often and its almost a price gouge based on how much they increase. To the point we are now starting to use Walmart online. At least Walmart is honest. Walmart Credit care from CapitalOne, Citibank which one I can't recall is not a bad deal, got one a while back just to shop at Walmart and Walmart online.
I can see us in the future drop Amazon, they are getting over the top on Fees and etc. too.
Thanks, Billy

The "new" delivery drivers for Amazon are horrible. They will leave the package anywhere they want.
