Amazon to give Prime customers one-day shipping
Amazon.com Inc. expects to improve the delivery times for customers who sign up for its Prime subscription program, cutting free deliveries to one day instead of two, an executive said Thursday afternoon. In a conference call related to Amazon's (AMZN) quarterly earnings report, Chief Financial Officer Brian Olsavsky explained that the company expects profit to take a hit in the second quarter as Amazon ramps up the change to its Prime program. “We're currently working on evolving our Prime free two-day shipping program to be a free one-day shipping program,” Olsavsky said, adding that Amazon expects to spend $800 million this quarter to make the change. ...

I would be happier if the 2 day delivery was actually 2 day delivery.

Amazon's AMZL Delivery service sucks. If the gates are closed here they don't use the code to open does it come out say it's undeliverable and send it back. Lame |

I get same day occasionally, sometimes next day as well.
That's really not the point. When they claim 2 days and it turns into 4, I no longer care about the same day or random next-day delivery. I care about the 2 day turned 4 because I could have just gone to the store and gotten the item if I wanted to.

I have a problem where they keep delivering to the wrong building. My building is in a large neighborhood of probably 20 other buildings. They are all marked properly and any driver should have a pretty good grip on which building is which at this point. No idea how they keep screwing this up. Every other month I have a missing package that I need to track down because of this.

Generally I get mine in two days Occasionally one day delivery but if it takes three days, one email and I get a $5 credit or free overnight shipping for next order.
Workers are going crazy because they do 200-300 orders per hour per twelve hour shift. Now they have to do more until Amazon hires more help. I’m tired of huge boxes with one small item.

I order the heavier items when I get free next day shipping. I borrow and I’m sure Amazon isn’t happy that they ship a twenty pound order for free. They lose money as the profit goes to the shipping and Amazon makes up the rest.
Figure I order $60 worth of heavy items. Shipped overnight costs $85.00. Ordered items costs them $30. Shipping costs $85. I paid $60. They lose $55 plus employee cost, boxes, and other things. I pay $6.99/month for Prime. My one overnight shipping freebie is equal to my yearly Prime cost.

I too hate that 2-day shipping is 4-day sometimes. I wonder if they will raise the price again?

UK already has next day delivery as standard for prime members for ages so am surprised you US folks don't have that too.
Free same day delivery is also more common now. |

Very few things for sale on that platform do I need in one day and if I do, I just pay the 10-20% more and buy it local and have it today. And at the same time support the local economy and be sure we do not become dependent on these behemoths for everything.
But I do like the idea they have given WalMart a run for their money. |

So, it's really on the carriers that made it possible. And Amazon wants to be their own deliverer as well. But I think that is one expense they do not need for now. It would eat into their bottom line in a way they did not expect. |

Pretty sure I already get 1 day shipping on most Amazon products.
I find it pretty amazing as it is, I can order at midnight and still get my stuff before noon the next day. |

When i first moved to California from Wimbledon UK i was amazed at how slow the mail system is in the USA, but when you consider the distances i suppose it makes sense ? I get mail and parcels from the UK quicker than mail from California!

Not true! I order single items all the time and so far have never had a single damaged item, i receive about 30-40 packages a week for myself and my business. Maybe you just pissed off your delivery guy ?

I just skimmed through more than 400 1 star reviews out of almost 4000 and only a few talk about delivery most are complaining about customer service, which i agree with 100%. I could find just 4 that even mention damaged items through shipping and zero state that you have to order more than one item at a time ?

Delivery problems are separate from the product itself. This is how Amazon can have shity delivery with AMZL and not have people talking about it openly on their platform. |

I bought a almost $500 man naked off Amazon and it was the worst purchase I ever made and I rarely make negative reviews but I did a one-star review and I put pictures on it and everything. Here's the review They sent me hands that had defective screws that weren't long enough to attach them to the arms. Because I mentioned the word "defective" the mannequin company got the review flaggef so I had to remove that word. I spent over $150 shipping back the mannequin to these people and then they said it was damaged when it got there and they were going to make a claim, such bulshit. Scam artists. I can't believe they're still sellers on Amazon. Scary Oh and I bought a male mannequin but my review shows up on a different mannequin that's female. Like WTF? how do sellers on Amazon shift reviews from a one product to a completely different product product? That should be against our terms of service because people are reading reviews made for a different product in the one they're looking to buy. |

I don't need one day delivery.
For a while I was buying stuff from Amazon all the time. I would plunk my ass down in front of TV at night and surf Amazon until I found something.... (Thankfully I cut that out.) I went a while without buying anything online, and then recently started doing some shopping.... Stuff on Ebay. I don't need one or two day delivery.

They waste a lot of money on shipping. Today I got three bubble envelopes with products. All were two-day Prime so three deliveries instead of one. Combined it would have been under a pound but because they don’t have a system that combines duplicate address orders, they paid too much.
One had a cloth wallet, one a cloth shopping bag and the other had a phone case. Yep, I should have ordered all at once, but I think of things I need or something breaks. The phone case broke after three weeks so I replaced it. Amazon said to toss the broken one or donate it! If their software flagged duplicate addresses, it would save employee time, packaging materials, shipping costs and more. Amazon is an amazon or behemoth but Walmart and Target are competing hard. I buy online from Walmart and ship to stores. Free shipping and saves time looking for that item you can never find or is sold out. Four-pack of diet Dr Pepper bottles is $3.50 in store but $2.50 online. Bought eight packs so saved $8 shopping online. In store they only have a few on shelves usually anyway. Amazon gets $4.99 last time I checked. Not sure if bottle deposit is waived.

Amazon or Walmart have no monopoly on imported trinkets. I get my imports direct and save 20% or more. There is no monopoly (yet) to sell online. Alibaba is a good start but there are others. Many of these co's have folks in the shipping boxes at ports of entry and they ship from inside them so shipping is faily quick. What bothers me is the fact that I can get item and shipping cheaper shipped in this way than I would pay to ship from sea to sea for just the shipping. Some deal they have with usps. but not fair to domestic shippers. First ran into this about 8 years ago and had to do some digging on how they could do it. |
