Amazon delivery schedule

[dodge man]

My daughter lives close to a major city, she can get same day delivery if it’s something common and it comes in an Amazon truck. We live near a smaller city and everything usually comes US mail. It also depends on if it’s coming from Amazon or a third party vendor. Something like a tap and die probably comes from a third party and would take longer.

We have had Prime for many years now, first got it mainly for the free two day shipping, now it also is for streaming. Prime two day was good for many years, now however our shipping seems to take about a week on average for any order to arrive. And after talking with our UPS driver it may not be Amazon that is the hold up, he told me UPS is now scheduling certain areas to be delivered on certain days of the week to help control costs. Which is funny to me when I have seen three different trucks drive by the house on the same day, seems they would do better if they watched what they were doing when loading the trucks. Plus we had the same driver for years until he retired, now we have 3 or 4 or 5 different drivers. Seems to me keeping one guy/gal on a route who is familiar with an area would be better for efficiency.

I agree, some items show up quick and others in a week or more. Its not as good or consistent as it once was. Prime streaming has really gone down and all we see is commercials now.

I have yet to figure out the best way to consistently close out FreeVee presentations I don't like without watching a commercial.

If you are watching a program that you can DL to your kindle??? When you play them back without ads.

Thank you. I might investigate that further.

My daughter lives 8 miles south of me and that puts here home in Amazon Massachusetts service zone.
My home, 8 miles north of my daughter’s, gets serviced from the New Hampshire warehouse.
Daughter’s delivery usually 2 days and sometimes less!!!
My delivery invariably is 3 days or more.

All but one of the items estimated to arrive on Friday came today. I used to get a notice they were coming sooner than the original estimate. If one came this time, I missed seeing it.

My Amazon package was sitting down by the road this morning instead of being delivered to my house by UPS. My mailman told me he saw delivery packages sitting by the road everywhere on his route this morning.
