amazon delivery

enfield_freddy

quickest delivery to me is to a amazon "locker" , 1 working day @ £1.99


estimated delivery date 13th-20th ? , that is not one working day!


edit: deliver to my home (free) 3 - 5 buisness days , Estimated delivery: 21 July 2015 - 24 July 2015


great big banners suggesting I join prime , is this a hint.


I have no intention of ordering on the 10th and waiting between 11 and 14 days for a simple £40 amazon stocked part.


bye bye amazon

I never take any notice of predicted delivery dates and always opt for the free standard delivery option. Almost always arrives within 48hrs of ordering and if Hermes deliver it has a Next Day Delivery label stuck on it.

Amazon always seem to go for worst case delivery estimates, which make them just about useless, as their performance is almost always a great deal better than worst case.

You won't. Regardless of the 'estimate' they will post ASAP and it will be with you in a couple of days.

I had the offer recently of next day delivery for a charge or standard deliver (3-5 days) for free. Opted for free, it arrived the next day anyway!

Unless it's a marketplace purchase.

I bought a book last Sunday from a marketplace seller with over a million positive feedbacks. Despatch estimate was Monday or Tuesday, I had to email them on Wednesday because it hadn't been despatched (a book, in stock). Email reply saying the book had been despatached on Wednesday afternoon.

It still hasn't arrived. I paid for postage.

I just received my parcel from them today.
It was ordered on Friday so very quick (1 day ) but...
Despite being in and the OH being in our ffront drive doing his bike, the delivery guy left it 500 meters up the road with people we have never met before.
It was very nice of the neighbour to take in our parcel but the delivery guy is a lazy so and so for not even trying to deliver to our own house.

Even if you select One Day Locker delivery it will still depend if they have stock available and where the stock is coming from.

It might also be worth keeping in mind the One Day Delivery with Amazon is that it will be delivered the day after dispatch rather than one day from when the order is placed:

It's similar to placing a pre-order, you can select One Day Delivery to Amazon Locker but it's still not going to arrive until the are able to release the stock.
