amazon?

[potluck6]

ordered some things from amazon. got the 50.00 gift card when getting their credit card. wont really use the card but does have a good interest rate. problem is some things I ordered wont come till june 21st so 2 months from now.some are coming in a week. like that I only have to pay 5.61 cents for 6 items. so if you order from amazon may have to wait awhile.

Amazon is focusing on delivering essential items first which puts many items on the back burner. I am still seeing about a five to six day turnaround on most items which is surprising  because I would imagine that the number of people that are stuck at home have inundated Amazon with orders. I started diminishing visits to the brick and mortar stores about nine yeas ago. Amazon has probably benefited the most from the CoVid pandemic and I am so glad I bought Amazon stock when I first started doing fusion cash -just under ten years ago. My stock has done very well and I only need to go to stores when I need fresh vegetables. I have even ordered frozen vegetables on line which are said to be just as healthy as fresh. I did order one of my daughter's birthday presents from Walmart (this morning), which cost ten dollars more than Amazon, only because they could deliver the item one day faster.

Not only that but people are price gouging on there …….example a bag of 15 bean soup was over 20$.  I tried to call them but no calls being accepted.  Whatever.  I used to order a lot of stuff from them before the great Coronovirus started because I already didn't go out much because of health issues, mobility and age.  Walmart has been a pain also.  Oh well persevere.  One up for your situation is sometimes they actually end up shipping early.

I've noticed my Amazon orders have taken longer to be delivered since COVID also.

My order placed 4/7/20 just arrived today....computer ink.

My 4/2/20 order is expected to be delivered 5/4/20.....hepa vacuum bags (for face masks)

I think I took advantage of that deal a few years ago and got the amazon chase credit card.

Really? I've ordered a bunch of stuff since the covid madness started, and I've received everything a day earlier than expected. I've left positive feedback on Amazon for the delivery drivers. I don't know if it will make any difference to them, but hopefully they know I appreciate them.

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.

Amazon orders were already slow getting here.  I do not order anything for now from them anymore.

I got the Amazon credit card when I placed a real big order.  I still use it to get 5% back on my Amazon purchases.  I pay it off as soon as the charges hit the account so no interest is incurred.

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.

i guess it depends on what you are ordering..the demand and all..i just ordered some homeopet for my cat..will be here in a couple of days...i have all my essentials already stocked up..and had them before this ever hit...some things can take awhile from amazon...i was gonna order some elastic..it wouldnt be here until the end of may or the 1st week in june...

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.

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.

They are not accepting calls any longer?  I spent over an hour trying to report someone for selling a $3 item for $13 and some had the same item for over $20.  It took too much time and effort.  The only people who can report price gouging with a simple click are other sellers.  There is an easy fix though - DON'T buy those items. If they could not sell them they would not want to be stuck with it.  Seems pretty much all companies are either over an hour wait time or not accepting calls any longer.  This is getting ridiculous.

Then you are lucky.  I have stuff coming today that I ordered 2 weeks ago.  Have family that have things coming they said would not ship til middle of May.  Leaving positive feed back for drivers probably doesn't make a difference.  My package is being delivered by the mail carrier not Amazon.  I may order something else today from them.
