I missed it. Let me know if you like it. Glad I didn't see your post yesterday. I cannot justify another small appliance.

Oh and GF is gluten free.

If the items had a green "Will be delivered on" date you should. Your Orders page has buttons to provide feedback on each order-they may not show up until the package is delivered though. We pay $99/yr for the two-day shipping feature, they should hold up their end of the bargain. Amazon probably can't fix the delivery time at this point, but last time I had the problem they extended my Prime 1 month.

This is so funny. I got enabled last night on another board with that Pot thingy so I got one coming.
I had a couple of electric pressure cookers in the past, but they were non stick and they peeled off the coating after very short time. I hate non stick. When I saw that this was a stainless steel insert, I grabbed it.

You guys need to start a thread somewhere for this thing and recipes you make in it. I do a lot of slow cooking already, so I can use some of those recipes I am sure to pressure cook. I'll try my famous goulash in it that usually takes me 3 hours in a pan on the stove.

GF, gluten free I guess? I am more on the low carb thing, so meats are aplenty here. Hubby loves that.

I am loving my FireTV I got on the sale, no waiting since I got it with Prime Now. The pot though won't be here until Monday. So I am not really getting the 2 day shipping on it. They shipping it UPS and I guess its using the slower ground. Odd since its not that far. Florida to Texas. Says shipped, still says Monday delivery on UPS.

Awesome cin. Bookmarking that one. Once I find out how, I know I did that before.

I have been seeing a lot of Prime 4 - 5 day things lately. You have to pay attention. I ordered something on Jet.com and got it quicker and cheaper.

Wearever · 07-13-2016, 09:10 PM

My order was shipped within hrs. yesterday on Prime Day. I was surprised because I didn't expect it to be delivered today. I'm on vacation and not home. I called my neighbor and asked if she could pick it up at the house for me. Then I get a message from the carrier that it was shipped from a different location and will be delivered tomorrow. Call neighbor back and asked her if she could pick it up again. I really didn't expect it so fast, I never order one day shipping, now it looks like two. I decided to try the Voyage on sale. So I don't want it out in the weather. I have my PW with me in a backpack. It's the one I take with me when I'm out. I wanted one e-ink to leave at home. But inside of the house not outside of the house.

Indeed. I saw the 4 day thing on a phone accessory today. Ended up getting it cheaper directly from AT&T with similar estimated shipping time.

It's sorta like people selling gluten-free water.

Prime Day actually worked out well for me and I too thought it was a bit better than last year, when I got almost nothing other than the gift card deal. This year, I picked up the gift card deal, a nice little 1TB SSD for only $149 (plus tax) after the Prime Day discount and the $30 Amazon credit card deal, and one of those little mini computers for my husband on the day before Prime Day using the "Early Access" 20% off Warehouse code. I totally agree, however, with whoever is was upthread who said that the deals are just laid out totally wrong for browsing, and I never page through any of that stuff, Prime Day or not. Just go in, look for what I want, hope it's on-sale, and don't buy if not...

The label on a can of shaving cream touts "Rust-Proof Aluminum Bottom."

Something always struck me wrong with that phrasing for a similar reason.

I got a very nice and unexpected email from Amazon this morning.

Dear Valued Prime Member,

In connection with Prime Day, we ran a limited offer of $30 off a purchase of $150 or more with the Amazon Rewards Visa Card on Amazon.com. We see that you entered the promotion code VISA30 after the offer had already expired. Because you are a valued Prime Member, we have loaded a $30 Amazon.com Gift Card to your account.

The gift card funds have already been loaded to your account and are available for your immediate use. You can see your current Amazon.com Gift Card balance by visiting the following location: https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/gc/balance.
