Ssst… don’t tell or they will start to make delivery times longer.
Start? They’ve already been doing that for at least a couple of years now.
Well, the 2-Day shipping guarantee was fucking destroyed through pandemic/online shopping & stimmy checks. We just hit crazy peaks of rampant consumerism & the guarantee couldn’t easily be honored.
I meant without Prime. Most of the time, my orders take 4-6 days to even ship anymore. I’ll occasionally sign up for a month of Prime when they offer it for free again, and it’s back to normal for that month.
But yeah, there isn’t free 2-day shipping anymore, just “free Prime shipping,” which is slower than 2-day and faster than non-Prime.
