Amazon S-L-O-W shipping

[ericlp]

Hmm, I guess they changed this not too recently, as when I have ordered with prime in the past, I noticed that I got stuff 2-4 days from FedEx. Now, I see this on there website.

Under Prime Benefits.

(standard shipping) Addresses in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico (3-7 business days).

I've noticed that all my orders are taking at least 5-7 days now. So, now if I don't have prime it will take 30 days on a boat? or I'll have to start paying for shipping?

Dunno, I think they lost me on what are the benefits. Isn't standard shipping the same with or without prime?

I guess we should be happy its free even tho, now gotta wait longer to get it.

Here is an example...

This product shipped via "PRIME" and I'm a prime member...

Purchased on July 28, and supposedly, it will be here by Friday, Aug - 7. So much for 7 day shipping! I could, only image what it would have ended up without prime? Thrown on a barge? That would put it out another 15-20 days after it left LA. YUCK.
