But I bet they aren’t going to pay their delivery drivers or warehouse workers more, though.
Cool, are they gonna start actually shipping products in 2 days again, or are they going to at least stop advertising it?
I’ve been getting my stuff next day for a while now, must depend on where you are.
I’m near one of the distribution centres and get my packages same day alot of the time.
I usually “collect” some products before buying them, so I’m always above their limit. I am totally not getting their Prime scam.
I recently bought 3 products for 50 bucks and had to pay 10 bucks extra for shipping since 3 different vendors. We really need a federated amazon.
Just make sure anything you order is either “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Ships from Amazon” and you should avoid that. I personally don’t order anything that isn’t shipped by Amazon (either through fulfillment or otherwise).
i only shop there when they give us prime for free. sometimes (more frequently the last couple years) it’s only a discounted shorter-term trial–so we don’t bother, but the last time it was a full month–free. yea, we used it a little. and binged most everything worth watching off video, too.
Canceling Prime was a great decision for us after they raised the cost. Since then, we order about twice a month. The shipping date is notoriously wrong on the free shipping selection, packages arrive sooner.
My Prime subscription is due to renew in the next few months, and I’m going to let it lapse. It’s getting hard to find genuine, trustworthy products on Amazon. If I wanted no-name crap drop-shipped from China, I could probably get it on Alibaba cheaper. For everything else, I’ll buy locally when possible, and buy from the manufacturer otherwise.
You can’t just let it lapse, you have to hunt out that cancellation option three to six pages deep and be determined. Then you need to carefully swerve the highlighted get it fast option and find the free delivery one instead. Don’t get standard delivery, free delivery comes sooner than they claim because whilst the courier isn’t being paid to hurry it, they’re coming to your area soon anyway and may as well.
Might I ask where you buy from? I’d like to make the switch, but since I live in another country and get my items here through courier, getting everything I need in one or two packages is significantly cheaper for me.
