amazon?

[countrygirl12]

Yes, I've been seeing the delay in shipping from Amazon, which is fine by me giving that they say they're picking essential items for shipping first and then non-essential items. I can't, though, for the life of me figure out what Amazon's idea of essential and non-essential is, LOL! I've ordered yarn and craft stuff, which comes very quickly, and then I've also ordered a toaster and an electric can opener, both of which took and are taking several weeks to receive. Oh, well, I wouldn't consider anything that I've ordered on Amazon so far as essential, so I'll just sit back and wait till the items arrive, whenever it arrives.

How do they know what is "essential".  It should be it ships in the order they receive the order.  Although people with Prime get priority over the ones who do not have it.  When I had the trial back in Dec most stuff did not come in two days any way so I can't see paying for it.

They are delivering essential items the fastest.  I still order from them and get my things in about 1 week.  I also see big delays in Chewy.  I have waited a week for my last order which always came the latest in 2 days.

Chewy is insane.  My last order came in about 10 days.

I paid for the amazon prime. I wish they would give a partial back of what I paid because everything is coming so far ahead.

What do you mean it is coming so far ahead? That would mean you get it faster.  If it is a huge delay in the past, at least for some, they said they could get a credit to their account. But right now they are not going to do anything because we are in a major crisis and people have went bat crap crazy panic buying. You are still getting your stuff faster than others if you have Prime. YOUR order gets sent out before someone without Prime.  And you still get the movies, music, and all that other stuff.  Right now everybody is pretty much saying if you order stuff you will wait til it comes or cancel the order.  That is pretty much all they can do.  And like somebody else said about answering calls - a lot of companies are not even answering calls.  And if you email you will get a generic one size fits all response that probably does not even answer your question.

Idk if they are not working or just so over loaded they are giving up.

My cousin just texted me, she has Prime, and the items she ordered yesterday she will not get til at least the middle of May.

I'm very thankful that I have no need to order from them so I have no wait

[bremer51]

I have Prime and I've noticed things a slightly slower.  I received my garden work gloves in 6 days.  I considered them essential.  But PRICES on some things are crazy.  Greed is alive and well during the pandemic.

i ordered items near mid march. The items sanitizing wipes were suppose to be here by April 15th. Then here yesterday. have'nt seen then yet. i live in a condo complex. outside chance they could be here some where. according to the website they were mailed 3/29/2020.
I prefer not to use amazon unless i absolutely have to.

If you order anything from any where you are going to have to wait.  We are having some real problems with our Fed Ex driver just driving by and throwing packages out in front of people's houses.  I talked to a supervisor yesterday and he said they are swamped. And having a hard time keeping up.  People have cleaned the stores out and now they are cleaning out everything online.  Good thing is the economy is BOOMING from all the sales.

Talk about price!!  My Insurance has an OTC and two "Vicks inhalers" are 21.00!!  I can buy them for less than 3.00 at Walgreen's!

I too have received my orders a day before they said would be deliver.  It depends on what you are ordering also.

[potluck6]

They mov3d the date up to may 21st. So about a month I can wait. Walmart who used to be fast is at least a good week in delivering.

I have Prime and some items were delayed a week or two, but that is better than being exposed to Caronavirus.

lol Well I was thinking $21 sounded like a good deal. I thought you were being sarcastic. I have not been to town in a while so I don't know if prices locally have been raised. I will likely get what I need without studying prices too much.  I have to have an ink cartridge so I guess I will pay what ever they are asking. Or buy a new printer. Sometimes that is cheaper but just puts more crap in the land fills.

I wondered about that as well.  I have never ordered from them. My mom does.  She did not know there are 3rd party sellers on there.  I am not sure how to tell what is ships from and sold by Walmart. But most of what I have seen on there was by a third party seller at inflated prices.  I saw a cake mix for $17.

Amazon is ticking me off.
I ordered my bunny's food about a month ago and it STILL hasn't shipped yet.
It's listed as a essential item.
Luckily, I still have some food for him,but that's not cool if they're doing that to other people that are probably nearly out of food for their pet and ordered more so they could feed their pets.
Amazon's gonna let pets starve now???
I feel like complaining to them

Amazon is not letting your pet starve. You have other options. Chewy has all kinds of pet food. Check with them. but you will wait about 10 days from the time you place your order.  Walmart also has pet food. As well as countless other places. If you feel like complaining to them then go for it. But you will be doing it in an email because some people have said they are no longer taking phone calls. Probably because all every one does is complain right now.  Can you not feed your rabbit things like fresh veggies and grains that you should be able to get at a grocery store?
