IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH AMAZON DURING THE NEXT WEEK???

I assume most of it is due to the holidays.

Workers taking vacation and deliveries (and returns) at a peak for the year.

Also, anything coming from China might be taking a much longer sea route with the canals impacted by various world events.

I ordered a radio and it says 2 to 4 week delivery. With Amazon prime.

Last week a few things were 1 day or even same day delivery. But those were commonly stocked items I guess.

The world is gonna end by 1-3 so they figure it wont matter

i need my toilet paper

You have 2 threads t town

It's always like that before a holiday.

Best go to de sto befo there ain't no mo!

They let all the workers off to play football once a year, new years day.

i worked at amazon for a time. 2 years ago they started having a policy where thanksgiving, christmas and new years we all got those days off AND the day after.

Stop buying from Amazon, they are the Big Satan. Buy from eBay instead. Or buy in a store.

I do no rush shipping around these times.

Waddle on down to the store, dependent slave child.

In my day when you ordered something it would take 5-6 weeks for delivery.

By the time it got to you you no longer wanted it.

It's not just Amazon. It's other online retailers too. It's all the delivery couriers taking time off. Lots of returned merchandise going back through the delivery network. Lots of new orders going out using gift cards they got for Xmas.

Also, this time of year there can be weather related delays. Snow, ice. This can foul up deliveries and even employees getting to work.

Not a lot of what I order is needed right away. This is because I'm prepped pretty well. I got enough toilet paper to last 2 years. I got enough food to last equally as long.

The only thing I might urgently need is the result of something unexpected, like a broken <whatever> for which I need a part to repair.
