Smurf Amazon....... Again.
on: February 22, 2017, 12:45:38 AM
All it is, is delayed packages and late deliveries, and so on and so on. Why should I pay for Amazon prime when they NEVER deliver on the "guaranteed" delivery date. DO NOT "guarantee" a delivery date you cannot follow through on! Smurf! I place my orders to coincide with my days off because we have a theft problem around here, but they are never delivered on the correct "guaranteed" date. I'm so smurfing pissed. It's not like its a one time deal here. Its almost every single package I order. I sent them another email and can't wait to hear what bullsmurf excuse they have this time.  :facepalm:

Sorry for the rant, but I just needed to get it off my chest.
I'm the milk man!

I tried their prime because of some prime-only deals during holiday, but dropped the membership. In fact I rarely buy from Amazon. Their prime shipping was only slightly faster than non-prime, why bother? To me, Amazon become to eBay, as Best buy became to them. I go to Amazon for product details, and mostly buy from other vendors: eBay, brick and motar stores. I got stuffs from eBay in 2-3 days most of the time.

I remember before they really pushed prime deliveries were pretty fast.  I never got prime because of how fast I felt they shipped.  When they raised the price of prime I did notice shipping for non prime orders seemed to be slower.  Now after a few years I find their normal shipping times to be back to what I recall. 

I guess unless they can deliver on time or explain why they cannot maybe time to become a non prime member.

I've not had a problem with amazon, just their delivery companies.  I had a parcel delivered to a local shop near work for ease of picking up. I took the required ID that amazon said I would need, but the shop wouldn't accept them, the delivery company had stipulated that they should only accept a photo driving license, which I don't have as I lost my wallet and am waiting for the dvla to send my replacement, or a valid passport, again which I don't have as I don't travel outside of the uk since I broke my back in 2012 (insurance costs more than a holiday).

I used my prime membership to get next day delivery, but now I have to wait till March 3rd which is the last day they will hold the package at the shop, then wait for it to be returned to amazon, and then re-arrange delivery or refund.  In the mean time I've ordered another one, to be delivered to my nieces house, and I'll just get this one refunded when it is returned to amazon.

Lesson learned. Don't redirect amazon packages again until I get my new driving license.

Wow! I never had a problem with Amazon prime ever.

Same here.  I live in a fairly large metropolitan area, and we apparently have a good Amazon distribution hub.  I have always had good luck with them.  I ordered an MP3 player last week that was supposed to be same day delivery, and it was delayed until the next day, but that's about as bad as it gets for me.  Which is not bad at all.  I order so much same day delivery that I am starting to know the delivery chick.

Is she hot?

on topic I am like a lot of you and always get it next day or once in a blue moon two days. It has always been on the day they said it would come though.

Maybe because I live in metro Detroit. Do you live out in the country CS?

I'm sorry to hear about these troubles, Cap'n. I've been a prime member for a while and I can count on one hand the amount of times they've not delivered the promised times.

Could it be a location issue? Unfortunately, they seem to offer only two forms of compensation: 1) A $10 Amazon credit, and/or 2) A refund of your shipping.

Now that I think of it the worst experience I've had with Amazon is when I ordered a Delica and received a Gerber "Clutch" in the SpyderCo box - they quickly made it right though.

I'm not a Prime member nor have I ever been.

I was severely disappointed when they discontinued free shipping for orders over 25GBP from amazon.co.uk to Spain (and other EU countries). This forces me to use .es which does not have the same selection, most of it yes, but a lot is missing. It's rather annoying since more than half the time whatever I order doesn't actually come from the .es warehouse. Also being a native English speaker I end up trying to find it on .co.uk before looking on the Spanish site.

A while back my order hit the minimum for free shipping and I noticed that they split it into several deliveries, the packages had Amazon Prime tape and were delivered next day despite me using free shipping. Not sure if it was means to lure me in to paying for prime or what. I'll stick to free shipping limit, nothing I order is so urgent I need it the next day, although knowing when it will be delivered is nice.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
