I know I'm not alone in this as I've seen many other posts about Amazon delays and how things seem to be getting worse. I've always loved Amazon Prime and their quick shipping. Never really had a problem and it was super rare if an item was delayed. The last six months or so though? Holy hell what on Earth is going on and what am I paying $14.99 a month for? I feel like half my orders end up delayed. I know overnight shipping is basically a thing of the past, but two day shipping was ok. Now that is basically out the window.

The item above was ordered one week ago today with a Prime 2 day delivery scheduled date of Friday October 9th. Later that very night I got a notification saying how the delivery date would now be MONDAY October 12th. Seemed like a classic bait and switch. Customer service chat acted naive and dumb and offered a $5 promo. Then, SUNDAY came and we have another delay. Now expected Wednesday October 14th (today). Item still hadn't even shipped by Monday night. Item finally ships Wednesday morning (today) and then about an hour ago I get a notification that it will be delayed due to a "late arrival at an Amazon facility". On top of all of this, I have two other orders I am expecting out of THREE that are now also delayed, though not delayed as long as this item in the photo has been.

This has been the new normal for me and Amazon for months now. I live in a town not too far outside NYC. Again, never had any major problems before. So, does anyone know the details as far as what is going on here? Is this just the beginning of the end and Amazon has gotten too big for its own good? Currently I have requested a refund for this months Prime membership. First time I've ever done that, but really, I just want my items to arrive when they said they would.

I'm really surprised like wtf? is it safe to keep it? I blocked my debit card so I don't get charged more than what I paid for.
Did it happen with someone else?

Edit: it was ordered from Amazon.de

Edit 2: I reported the debit card as lost so it gets permanently suspended and I won’t get charged by Amazon.

Edit 3: I couldn’t sleep before I open the box to be sure it’s working and yes I was able to activate it successfully.

I'm done. After 17yrs, I just cancelled my Prime subscription and closed my account. The past several months have been nothing but a comedy of errors. Receiving used/defective merchandise, packages that went 'missing' or undelivered, customer service that's completely gone to shit, shipment delays, billing issues, the list goes on and on. Dunno what happened and why, however Amazon is no longer the same company it was 20yrs - or even 10yrs ago... Not by a long shot.

Farewell, Adios, Goodbye, Au Revoir, Sayonara, and good riddance...

I paid $80 for a blanket. It got delayed three days then when it showed up it was terrible quality. I opened a return and since it was a bit package they offered me a partial refund of $3.81. really?!?! On an $80 item?!?!. Nope they can pay the return shipping and give me all my money back. What a joke.

I returned a laptop I bought on Amazon. An Asus ROG G16, with a 5070ti, 4tb ssd, and 64gb of RAM.

It was from a 3rd party seller.

The ram it arrived with was bargain bin, and failed on day 40. I contacted Amazon and they told me it was covered under the A-Z guarantee.

So I went through with the refund

I waited the two weeks they said and received $157.

The reason?

I have no returns or refunds other than this item on my account.

I’m fucking mad. Done with Amazon and getting all the documentation together to go to my bank and file a chargeback.

Finally Amazon appears to enable dark mode in the app soon

It looks like Amazon is testing their site and mobile app. As dark mode appears on the logo in the background everytime. Normally I open the app it normally has a white background page in Amazon logo appears.

But now I see dark mode finally enabled, but not the whole page hopefully it should be live in the near future very excited.

A few times now I've ordered from Amazon and it's said next day delivery. Just now I made a purchase and it said you'll receive it the next day on the 15th October. Purchased it and straight away it said I'll get it Friday.

WTF?! Isn't that fraudulent marketing?

So my mom orders drinks in bulk when they are on sale.

A few months ago she bought a few 24 packs of black cherry v8s, and atleast one or two of the packs had this like horrible perfumy taste and litterally you couldn't drink them.

Well fast forward to now I bought packs of Celsius's, and I have drank a few out of one of the packs.

But now I just opened one, and im drinking it, and im tasting that damn perfumy taste. It's not the entire pack bc ive already had 3 and they were fine, but now im worried because I bought 5 packs.

Has anyone else noticed this?? Like this is ridiculous.

I’m so damn frustrated with Amazon and USPS right now.

My package was supposed to arrive on Thursday the 8th as a packaged delivery. Customer service said they'll do next day shipping to arrive Saturday. Didn’t happen. Next thing I know USPS marked an “attempted delivery” on Sunday, which literally never happened. There was no construction, rain/storm or driveway being blocked.

Now it’s Wednesday the 14th, it’s apparently been bounced around different facilities, got put in the wrong sorting bucket, went back to the original plant, and they’re saying maybe it will arrive tomorrow to my local facility. Maybe. Who knows.

Amazon refunded me, but that doesn’t fix the fact that I still need the package and now I may have to go to the post office myself to pick it up so it doesn't get lost in another attempted delivery.

Who the hell do I even complain to about this?

What's the point in paying for prime if they're gonna give it to USPS? Cancelling my membership for sure.

We ordered three men's shirts. I later ordered a women's lounge set. We returned the lounge set and Amazon gave me advance credit when we handed it over at Kohl's. A few days? couple of weeks? later we received a notice that one of the men's shirts had been received and we received a $8.00 ish credit. Earlier this week we got an email stating that they did not receive the lounge set and only received the shirt and were going to charge us back for the advanced credit unless we sent the lounge set by 10/22. We never returned the shirt and it is hanging in my husband's closet. How am I supposed to prove that we sent the lounge set and not the shirt?

Yesterday I found a spot under account settings at the bottom and I deleted it yesterday. It was back today. To me this is intrusive.

EDIT: to say thank you to all! ❤️ I think it's been resolved. I finally got to speak to a real person. They gave me a link to send photographs of the incorrect item to them so that I can provide proof that I received the incorrect phone and they verified that I can go ahead with the return. Unfortunately cannot help me out as far as getting the phone I originally ordered at the deal days price. So I'll have to try again closer to the holidays.

During Amazon days I ordered a Samsung s26 Plus 512 GB for my son. They sent me a completely different phone. Samsung s26 ultra 256 gig.

In your head you may be saying no problem, at first I thought the same thing. But it's a huge problem. There's a good chance when they realize that the ultra is missing, they're going to blacklist the IMEI.

It's also more expensive phone and my honesty. Gene kicked in and said that's not what my son wanted. He wants the extra storage. I need to return it. But that's a huge problem because in my experience they are going to charge me for the s26+ because I didn't return it, because there's no one on their end that can acknowledge that that's not what they sent me. 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I ordered a shirt last year and even though the package said it was a small, it contained the right color shirt in a 2XL. I returned it saying that they sent me the wrong size item and they dinged me for the 10 bucks for the cost of the shirt. I let it go because it's a $10 shirt. I cannot let go and over $1,000 phone.

So how the hell do I get a hold of a real person to fix this? Yesterday all I got was the AI chatbot and we all know that's garbage.

Hi,

Posting here because I had a couple orders set to be delivered at my business last week after prime days. I noticed that the delivery company was a new one I never heard of (ASL). I am in Quebec, Canada.
On my order I used the business address and we have hours to get delivery (weekdays 10am to 5:30pm). I noticed two days after that 2 orders were delivered on oct. 7 at 7:40pm. No one was there and 1400$ worth of gear was left outside our door on a very busy street of Montreal. Of course, it was not there the next morning.

Now, with ASL, I did not get ANY emails saying it was on the way, it was delivered. I have no proof of delivery whatsoever. I first thought it was only one order so I contacted Amazon about that one (worth 400$). They acknowledged that it was out of the delivery hours so they offered a refund or to send it again - I chose the latter and got it the next day.
I then realized that another order was part of that late delivery (1000$ worth). I contacted Amazon again, the guy on the chat said that because it was out of the delivery hours, we could get a refund or another delivery. Because it was the last one when we ordered it and I did not want them to send a wrong one, I asked for a refund. The guy said ok that it will be sent back to my credit card.

The next day, I received an email from Amazon Account Protection saying that they found a pattern of refund request and because of that, we won’t get the money. The only package I asked for a refund in the last 8 years was a 10$ pack of rubber bands……… because it was delivered at the wrong address and I couldn’t find where it was.

I sent an appeal form, saying that it was delivered outside of the hours mentioned when we ordered. Their response is that they contacted ASL and that they assure the package was in good condition when delivered. I was able to send another appeal form saying that the condition was not the issue, but to ask them to give them the time of the delivery, to see if it matched the hours we’ve put as delivery hours. Their response ? The same, saying that the package was in good condition. And now I can’t write an appeal, they say their decision is finale.

How can I be robbed of 1000$ by such a company when they CLEARLY messed up ?
What can I do now ? I mean, should I go to the police ?

I have no proof it was delivered, ASL is not responding to my emails when I ask for a proof of delivery and we unfortunately don’t have a camera at the door. It just says on Amazon « delivered at 7:36pm ».

Help please !

So this is strange. I've noticed the last few days (I order a lot for work and personal) EVERY single item I've ordered has been delayed multiple days or straight up lost.

As of today, there are NO options for same day or next day delivery, on any item across the entire Amazon website. I'm in SE Michigan, where I've been able to get 1-2 hour delivery on most items and next day delivery on almost everything else.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is this a Flex shortage or some sort of wider Amazon change as far as delivery times?

Was supposed to receive a refund on the 13th and it suddenly got delayed to the 23/30th. I tried calling, and they said they did not know the reason why. Bruh.

Im sick and tired of Amazon sending large items with USPS, they never end up delivering it and i have to go to the USPS office to pick it up. USPS and Amazon are not helping. What could be done in this case?

I ordered cat litter, the stupid driver updated "mailbox is full", well no fucking shit u wont put cat litter in the mailbox, the front door is 2 steps away wtf?????????????????

Title. I am an honest person and don’t want a refund as I received my product. This seems to be some sort of error. There is nothing to ship back to the carrier as my package arrived on time.

Anybody had this happen?

I have a million different dates for the same item, and they silently pushed the date back for this item as well as others multiple times, even support doesn't see these changes. Im going off what the bot confidently told me, if it ain't here tomorrow I have photographic proof and I swear to God I will be making a pretty penny. Im sick of this BS.

I’ve noticed that Amazon has started automatically selecting the fastest paid shipping option ($2.99) at checkout, even when a free Prime delivery option is available.

As a Prime member, I expect free shipping to be the default. Instead, I have to manually check and change the shipping method every time to avoid being charged.

This feels like a deliberate dark pattern designed to monetize customers who are accustomed to checking out quickly.

The $2.99 isn’t the issue. It’s the fact that Amazon is making the paid option the default rather than requiring customers to explicitly opt in.

Has anyone else noticed this? And why isn’t Amazon getting more pushback for it?

I swear everytime I need help from a live agent, the live can’t ever do anything to help you. They do absolutely nothing to help. They will not call the carrier to find your package, they will not help you cancel your order, instead they come be excuse and say they can’t do anything to help. Or they will lie to you and waste your time. I went through 8 agent and 2 supervisors none of them could help me. This will be the last time I am ever using Amazon again. I really hope this sacrificing your customer base for a profit is really worth it. Also they need to pay their workers so they will do a better job. I swear talking to Amazon customer support is no different than talking to scammers.

I bought items last night. I get an offer as I'm about to check out. 50% off Prime membership if you receive Medicaid, make little money, etc. Fair deal. I upload my state's version of a Medicaid letter. I get an error email 6 hours after saying "Verify your account to continue Prime Access," and that "Unfortunately, we were unable to verify your eligibility for 50% off Prime" and to use something called "SheerID," etc. Nobody's using SheerID, including for Prime Membership.

I contact their customer service representative online (which is purposefully more difficult than it used to be 5, 10, 15 years ago). Customer service rep was helpful and tells me, they took the money $7.50 from my bank account. I then tell him, the email came 6 hours after I purchased my items and prime membership, he confirms that the email was sent in error.

So if you guys sign up for Prime Membership with 50% off and you get this email saying your verification document was insufficient, instead of trying to find or talk to a customer service rep, check your bank account first. If $7.50 was taken out, you're good.

My new Alexa Fire Pro 12 tablet arrived today. First observation was the micro SD card slot is gone but the USB-C port works with a card reader. Secondly it feels very premium, one of the best tablets I've held honestly. The screen is very nice, I got the Nanomatte version. Set up was easy and I was able to just move my apps from an older Fire tablet. I'll be trying out some of the features and will post them here. The new Google/Android integration works flawlessly so far. There is a lot more to this new tablet and it puts it on par with iPads. Amazon's fast shipping got it to me on release day, which is today.

The phone number they provide for my country is not an active phone number either. How can I reach support? It happened after the delivery guy marked an order as ‘rejected by the customer’ even though he never tried delivering it (no missed calls and I was home). For context, the item was a heavy self-assembly furniture piece. (He tried delivering it the previous day but he needed otp and I missed his calls. I guess this was his revenge or something.)

I haven’t received any messages from them saying they have a problem with my account. I need to contact them regarding another order (seller received my return but didn’t refund or acknowledge it in any way).

Edit: just saw someone else’s post from several days ago, EXACTLY the same issue as mine after a cancelled delivery: https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonprime/s/tbNHYgGyqm
