I noticed this happening over Christmas. The one big claim to fame that Amazon has is fast and “free” shipping. But that seems to be going away now.

Alot of stuff I ordered in November and December of last year, took longer than usual to arrive. I just chalked it up to how busy the holiday season is.

Fast forward to this month, and all of the items I ordered took longer to arrive. Even “Prime” listed stuff. On the website it said shipping next day. It took two days to arrive. Stuff listed as two days to arrive turns out to be a week now, and so called “Prime next day shipping” is now only guaranteed if you spend 35 dollars or more. And even then it still arrives a day late.

So to everyone hating on Amazon, rejoice! It looks like it’s reign is starting to dip. I’ve been doing alot more shopping on Walmart who seems to have better pricing and shipping.

I wonder who the next big online retailer will be?

    This is the dumbest post. Stop using Amazon and Walmart ffs. Why would we rejoice at your post? You represent the average person who doesnt five a fuck what their money supports.

      Reported you. This post is for people to get stuff of of their chest. Not for you to get mad about the fact that not everyone shares your political/economical beliefs. Y

      Most people use Amazon. Accept it.

      I love Amazon. And Temu :)

          Fair enough. I thought him calling the post dumb was a step beyond, but I appreciate you looking into it and coming up with a decision. Thank you!

          I’m not saying you should be blocked, I’m saying you don’t have to be a jerk. The OP was getting something off their chest and ranting. That’s what the comm is for.

          But to come at them in the comments, sorta breaks the spirit of the community and makes less people wanna post here.

          Your comment would be better handled if you started a post and just said that you’re upset that so many people use amazon. That way you are not attacking the OP directly.

            Sounds like a shitty community then if it supports Amazon or Walmart.

            The world doesn’t need more echo chambers, BTW.

              Dude, I’m wondering if you’re aware of what this community is called, and what it’s about. It has nothing to do with supporting Amazon or Walmart. What are you going on about?

              I think you just wanna be a jerk in all of your online interactions. Your mod history…um, it’s pretty telling.

              We’re done. Have great day, mate.

                I’m aware, I think its a dumb idea for a community. Sounds like you don’t like when people disagree with you.

                    Because it was on the front page and I saw the post, I don’t normally change my response based on the community the post comes from. I saw something stupid and felt compelled to say so. My bad for not realizing this is apparently a place where we are supposed to pretend any complaint is valid.

                    If my opinion isn’t wanted then its fine if the community mods want to ban me.
