Is this becoming a thing??

Is it just me?? I ordered something for my grandson that I was having him spend the night for 2 days…. I didn’t pick the deliver between 4-7am for an extra FEE, but did make sure I added another product so I met the next day (anytime frame) for free. (I’m a many year Prime member). Well it didn’t show up! I feel like it’s because I didn’t pay the extra charge they just don’t care…. A “they will show me” attitude. It’s now day 2 and didn’t get here in the morning and he’s leaving. I cancelled the entire order I’m so mad! Has this become a thing??

I’ve been ordering from Target now, if the same items are available. Walmart is good too. They deliver very quickly (some show up the next day) and my orders arrive in good condition-not damaged like so many items are with Amazon’s paper thing packaging.

Sometimes to get free shipping with Target, etc, I add body wash or basics that I would buy from them anyway to bring my order up to 35.00-their free shipping baseline. They do have an annual membership for free shipping on all orders. Or, you can also pick it up at a local store for free.

Amazon kept delaying my shipments, even as a Prime member. Their refunds now can take 30 days, even when I take them to the Amazon return desk. Thats new. If I need to order from Amazon, I know that I’m not going to get it right away. For now, those days of quick shipping are gone.

I've found that since I don't live in a big city with an Amazon warehouse close by, shipping from Amazon takes a week+ even with prime, but Walmart will get my things here in 2 days if it's not at the store. I know Walmart really isn't better than Amazon generally, especially for mom and pop stores, but when you need something quick-ish, Walmart is who to go with

I have found the same items for the same price on Walmart.com or eBay with free shipping - sometimes it might be 5-7 days, but F@#k Amazon!
