Well I did the online chat and it sounds like there was a glitch with the order in the system. I used a gift card, so it was charged when it entered “shipping soon” status, so they refunded that and I placed another order and it already shipped out. I don’t know why it took them this long to figure out the problem, but I guess at least now it’s fixed.

If you ordered it late Thursday night then for purposes of shipping you ordered it on Friday. The day you order doesn't count as a shipping day, so two business days later would be Tuesday.

It's taken over a week for my last two orders to ship. Both were ordered from the Marketplace with Amazon fulfillment. Not that I'm in a hurry, but they've always processed things faster than that, even with FSSS.

Seriously.

I order stuff I want, I get free shipping, and I don't really think about it until it arrives, which is almost always in a couple days.

No. It used to be worth it. I loved Prime when everything I ordered came UPS. Problem is they started using unreliable 3rd rate carriers like A1, Lasership, and Prestige. I'd gladly pay $100/year for Prime if I could get guaranteed UPS.

I used to place orders with Amazon using their free shipping, and it would ship the next day - sometimes arriving at my door 24 hours later.

Now it's just getting ridiculous. I had the Harry Potter Blu-ray collection on preorder. For two weeks prior to its release date, I was wondering why everything I bought was in a perpetual "Shipping Soon" status.

Well waddaya know - when Harry Potter eventually arrived, it was boxed with everything I had been ordering for the past two weeks.

Same thing is going on now. Multiple orders which haven't shipped in a week. Something tells me when Arkham City for PC is finally released, I'm going to get a very big box with that game I preordered along with everything else.

Thing is - you can't cancel once it's in Shipping Soon status. And if you call, they'll tell you the same thing. But it seems a little disingenuous to tell you it can't be cancelled as it's now entered the packaging stage when you can place orders after this which eventually end up in the same box.

I finally had to break down and call them about this, as I've had orders sitting there for over a week now as "Not Yet Shipped." The lady apologized and after I got off the phone, half my orders finally updated to "Shipping Soon."

A few years back a UPS guy at a local watering hole confessed to me that they go the extra mile to deliver Prime shipments on time. They'll sometimes throw out other Amazon packages at the warehouse to be shipped another day if they're overloaded (or tired) but Prime always gets a space on the truck.

Ever since I've been a Prime guy and I love it.
