Guess that's why I'm getting my certified refurbushed Oasis 2 today; a surprise for me! Now its 'out for delivery'.
Wonder how the 1 day works when the stuff ordered is coming from Kentucky to Calif; can Amazon make it? |

I think Amazon is gearing up to use transporters (Star Trek) in their warehouses

I've noticed this too lately, I was getting the no rush shipping orders within a couple days, my most recent orders have been 4-5 days just to ship. Could be just a busy time right now. If it's something I need right away I'll go with prime 2 day. If I can wait a week then I'll still go with no rush for the digital credit. I've been able to save up quite a few before they expire, and will spend them all next month on new release books I've been waiting for.

I agree; my last few orders have been either Prime next-day shipping, or a week with no-rush. While next-day is overkill most of the time, neither do I want to wait a week or more. Three or four days would usually be fine, but that's not a choice.

Every time I choose the no rush shipping I get it in three days or less. I got one the next day.

Is that the plane with the well documented habit of suddenly ceasing to be able to fly while in the air, with catastrophic consequences

And "well document habit of suddenly ceasing to be able to fly while in the air"? More like Boeing's selling the 737 MAX under the promise that no retraining for pilots used to flying older 737 models was needed. As the two crashes showed, the pilots were not familiar with some of the new automated features which, hopefully, would have been covered in a retraining course. |
