Now if I order on say a Saturday it still wont ship until Tuesday and it shows up Wednesday.  It use to shipped either late Sunday or Early Monday.
So it's like this if I order something Monday I will get it Thursday. What's more crazy alot of the stuff comes from the warehouse right here in Raleigh.
I use to be able to order anything. It was ship later that night and I got it two days later. Now I have to wait 4 days total so imagine without Prime what time it would get here... |
Strange thing is, I can't see a clear trend.
For the last 2 weeks, a few shipments (maybe 30% of my orders) went smoothly. Shipped the very same day and delivered the next day - as it's supposed to be with Prime in Germany (smaller country = 1 day instead of 2 days like in the US).
Some other shipments did have strange logistics. They've shipped some small purchases below 10 Euro from Italy and Eastern Europe, without any explanation or pre-warning. And of course this sometimes took more than a week.
And some other purchases, about 50% of the total, simply took 3 to 5 days for no apparent reason.
All those shipments had been from Amazon directly, via Prima...
