      I have prime and this is how it looks to me.

      I live in the middle of nowhere, 7 miles from work. Amazon will ship to my work address in 1 or 2 days, but it’s 7-10 days to my house. Same UPS Dist center, same FedEx dist center, same number of post office hops.

      Shipping is witchcraft.

        I used to work in a distro centre booking 3rd party deliveries for out of metro stuff and I would often run into places where they would delivery to one suburb and not right next door, like literally driving down the highway and will delivery to the houses on the right hand side but not the left hand side…

        Same. If it’s critical or high value, I’m buying direct anyway. So for stuff on amazon, I just wait until my total items hit $25 and get free shipping which usually arrives earlier than scheduled. And that’s like once every 2 months.
