Clearly not in two days, but more and more Amazon seems to interpret the Prime 2-day shipping to mean from the time it is shipped rather than from the time it is purchased. Not cool IMO, but that isn't the interesting part. The item shipped out of Shakopee, MN and was initially brought down to Dallas via UPS. I checked on its status this morning and discovered that UPS has now turned it over to the USPS for delivery. The USPS has it listed as out for delivery. I've seen carriers shift a package back and forth on occasion, but I had never seen UPS pass to the USPS. |
I've always received my orders in two days from purchase. When you go to checkout there should be text saying when you will receive your order. If it does not guarantee a delivery date in two days, I don't purchase. But that doesn't happen very often.
