Anyone else noticing long delivery times with Amazon?
I live in the Seattle area, and last week I feel like I started to see a massive spike in delivery times.
I've had a delivery that was supposed to arrive today that's been delayed for 2+ days. And when I look on for the delivery times of basically anything it seems like the expected delivery times are at the tail end of next week.
Just curious is others are seeing this across the country.
Seattle (and the rest of western washington) was mostly cut off from eastern washington by road starting late wednesday until a few hours ago today due to a massive amount of snow, closing the mountain passes. I-5 was closed a bit due to flooding as well. Rail through the mountains was also affected, but I don't know timelines.
A lot of goods move the other way (imports come into the western ports and are trucked east), but some goods do come from the eastern part of the state and country.
Staffing is probably also a factor.
It’s probably related to the Omicron surge which is creating all kinds of logistical hurdles.
During the start of the covid mess, Amazon was unreliable. I started using ebay again. Deliveries were much faster. It doesn't make much sense, but those were the results of my n=1 trial.
Amazon is a week delivery, Walmart is 2+ weeks. Their plus service is a total failure
Remember when "Prime" meant two day delivery? I haven't seen that in years.
