    Amazon’s not good at shipping?

    I don’t like a lot of their business practices, but holy shit do they get stuff to my house fast and reliably. Most of the time, same or next day.

      Yeah same, they’re absolutely unmatched, and by a huge margin. Faster, cheaper, and more consistently arriving both on time and undamaged.

      I hate them. They do however easily outperform the competition, that’s sadly also something I have to acknowledge.

      I think the key is not good at shipping compared to themselves in the past. Same with Google.

      They’re still better than the alternatives, but they’ve gotten much worse in quality all around, and they squeezed out competitors years ago so there’s no viable alternatives that aren’t WAY worse.

      Nah last several times I ordered, I saw one date expected before I order. The next day the expected date changes and it takes a week to turn up. They’ve been trash for a while.

        That’s the exact reason I discontinued prime. The shipping rarely was on time. I dropped prime and didn’t notice a change in shipping time. They advertise to you in hopes you’ll forget or something and I’m sure a fair amount of people do.

      That’s because of their contracts with couriers which is undermining employee and road safety

        Yes. But it’s always been like that. The shipping quality hasn’t declined, therefore “Amazon is no longer good at shipping” makes no sense. Of all the things to complain about Amazon, that’s not it.
