Amazon Prime sucks massive donkey balls

None prime here. I was hoping they'd be sending essentials out earlier but I guess not unless you pay

. Ordered some mouthwash and a box of toothpaste late on Friday 17th, expected delivery 29th... :eek:

Only none essentials in that order was a book and some sports clothes washing liquid, still have hope they get it out before end of this week.

Ordered a couple of yard brush heads yesterday, out for delivery today.

Prime has been hit or miss for me lately. Fastest items have been 2 days, slowest was 2 weeks!

Ordered my new speakers on the 20th, due for Thursday, arriving today

Shame though, the amp, stands and bits and bobs are still scheduled for delivery on Saturday, hopefully with change soon!

The one and only delivery of mine to be late is my allergy tablets!

Ran out yesterday and starting to suffer today haha. I thought I had another 2 weeks worth when I ordered them but I got that wrong.

Synology NAS ordered last Friday evening, delivery date was quoted as this Friday. It arrived on Monday. I've never been disappointed by Amazon Prime.

Enjoy, I had mine last year and not regretted it.

Ordered a desk chair on Monday for delivery tomorrow. Tracking still says it’s not yet dispatched but is arriving tomorrow.

Been sitting on my new chair all day....

Ordered a few bits, not essentials but not luxury items either, Saturday - estimation and tracking was showing Thursday/Friday turned up on Tuesday.

Zeebedy · 23 Apr 2020 at 17:44

Well, my order has sped up. Delivery tomorrow by 9PM, rather than a Saturday delivery.

Now watch it if come at 8.30PM though

Has anybody ever had their Wishlist go missing and/or their Prime membership removed?

Last week they took a monthly payment and I used Prime this last week but when I just logged on I was no longer a member of Prime!!
They offered me a free 30 day trial so I've clicked yes and lost nothing but still a bummer it went missing.
The Wishlist is a bit of a bugger because I had loads of stuff in it.

Heard of them kicking you off if you have abused the refund/return system.

I've kept everything I've ever bought and that's a lot of stuff.
It doesn't even show any receipts for the payments I've paid for Prime!

UPDATE
Everything has come back now!!!

Ordered a Graphics Card this morning at £428 and 2 hours later it is £409 hasn't even been dispatched yet. I get on to customer service and they can't refund the difference and can only offer me a £10 credit. Like honestly doesn't make any sense :rolleyes:

Direct from Amazon or from a marketplace seller?

Which graphics card, would be interesting to look at the price history tracking site for it

b0rn2sk8 · 28 Apr 2020 at 10:28

Just cancel it and re-buy?

Eatchipz · 28 Apr 2020 at 10:29

Direct From Amazon. PowerColor RX 5700 XT Red Devil

They are now saying that they can refund me the difference but only once the item has been delivered or take a £10 credit.

Kenai · 28 Apr 2020 at 10:41

Yeah, that's frustrating, especially so when price trackers show it's been at £389 or £399 since last year, pretty much up until last week / week before.

Guess it's an effect of different wholesale costs being assigned to different units - you presumably bought one of the last ones of the 'expensive batch' and then it auto updated the price to the next batch which were bought in cheaper - bearing in mind the new price offering says delivery by May 14th, suggests they don't have them actually in stock yet, just expected. Is yours due for delivery sooner?

I would try as b0rn2sk8 suggests and cancel it if you're no longer happy with the price but you might find the system reprices at £428 once it registers that stock as available again.

Edit - Probably easier to just accept the price match offer now they've offered that

Eatchipz · 28 Apr 2020 at 10:54

It still says Delivery on Saturday for me as is the original order. I went to order another 1 and I can't they must have put a buying limit on the certain products.

Kenai · 28 Apr 2020 at 10:57

If I try to buy one it says delivery 'estimated by 14th May', so I would guess the lower priced batch isn't actually in their possession yet, so if they're offering to price match this newer price but you're not going to have to wait over 2 weeks for delivery i'd just take them up on the offer.
