The amounts for the digital credit appear to have increased. No rush shipping was $1.50 on Sunday and $3 on Monday.

With the whole Kovid-19 thing, I am not seeing any shipping options (in general) and slow shipping times (a week). This is for things like pbooks, pipe cutters, ...
I just tried an order for gauze, and it had a Friday delivery date, or slow shipping with a $3 digital credit. The gauze was a $7 item. |

I’ve been seeing the $3 credits too and overall not any serious delays, but also saw an article that non-essentials may not be shipped until April 21.

I got the $1.50 no-rush credit on my last order; two other orders didn't offer any options except regular free shipping. All were for household cleaning items.

I'm trying not to buy anything on Amazon that I don't have to. Too many people in rural areas (like my parents) are having to depend on Amazon for food delivery right now. I am lucky to live in an area that still has open farmer's markets and stocked stores.
I do hope that folks take advantage of the slower shipping offers though. |

Forgot to mention, I’m actually seeing the $3 credit as a banner on product pages. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Considering the circumstances I think they’re doing a pretty good job. Although, I’ve been a Prime Fresh user for a while now and I’m surprised at the lack of re-supply on basic food items there.
On a side note, I was amazed (and relieved) to discover flour and sugar available for shipping (not delivery) from Target. They’ve been in short supply in my area. |
