Amazon delivery times

    My last 5 orders with Amazon have all taken a week on average before being despatched. The cynic in me thinks that Amazon has enough staff and that this is a deliberate tactic to push people into prime membership. Anyone else seeing the same trends?

    Did they arrive when by the original delivery date?

    Possibly to get as many on board before they open the Irish distribution centre. My deliveries have been grand however.

    They tell you the delivery date when you click on buy, a week or so for free shipping vs 2 days for Prime, and the only way to make it is to hold off shopping for a few days, the order will usually arrive before the delivery date. .

    If I need to get something quickly I just use an alias email and sign up for the 7 days free trial and cancel as soon as its dispatched. The only thing that Prime checks is the email address, you can have multiple Prime accounts with the same delivery address and card details.

    They take a while to dispatch but I always have them on or before the advised delivery date for free shipping. Never too long at all.

    Obviously Prime shipping is going to be quicker. That is one of its main selling points!! Of course they deliberately delay delivery to non-Prime members, but there is nothing cynical about it. It is their business.

    I doubt that anyone thinks they have instructed their staff to sit on their hands and ignore your order either. Given their reputation etc.

    If you think they might be prioritizing prime orders over regulars ones, well that's exactly what they do, and that is one of the selling points of prime.
