What blows me away is that frequently my expected delivery date for Prime orders is next day. More often than not that leaves my packages handled by Amazon or one of their third party contractors. Greater than 75% of the time the package does not come on time. Often times it even turns into 3 days.

If using the established players means the buy button says arrives in 2 days and it arrives in 2 days then I would be SIGNIFICANTLY more satisfied with Prime. I haven’t read enough of the other comments yet to know if my experience is the norm but I really think Amazon would be better off abandoning this whole scheme and letting the pros handle it. It wouldn’t kill American consumers to wait another day.

Side rant: I’m absolutely sick of the armada of rented panel vans from Enterprise blasting random circles through my residential neighborhood. Make them take the earbuds out and for the love of god give them some kind of routing that makes sense.



Maybe it’s my city but that’s not the experience I have here.. but Vancouver also does seem to have a lot of loading areas in front of and alleys for them to use
