I order from Amazon from time to time. I am not a prime cust. Most shipments have shipped immediately.
I notice that they are now holding on to shipments for a week before shipping. All of it is marked in stock.
I think it's unreasonable to wait a week to ship. I sent them an cust service email. I got back a form letter saying that they are delivering with in the specified time. Since I qualified for free shipping, that 5-8 days means I am shipping on day 7.. So I can expect next day delivery right? Not really, one of the items I ordered, I had previously ordered and it took 3 days, so it's not expected to ship until the 7th day.. which will put it in the 10th day.. outside that range.
For me this is the 2nd strike against Amazon. I think they are trying to force you to Prime. They now have items they won't ship until you reach a certain point in $$$$, even if you want to pay for it. More so if you are a prime user. My son is, and I asked him to order some things for me, they would not take them until his entire main order reached a $$ figure. Can't remember. So none of those items would ship. They originally had a good bus. model, but now.. I am finding reasons not to like or use them.
Their argument to me is that I can buy prime and get video and other things .. I live in farm country, my network speed does not allow video.. I get 6mb when it is working right. You tube force me to 480 most of the time these days. Used to be able to get 720.. now not so much.
Free 2 day shipping? Well mostly yes, but for some items you need a minimum like I explained above.
If they hadn't knocked so many businesses (them and WalMart) out of business, I would have been able to get many of these items within a .5 hour drive.. not so any more.
