GB shipping can be absurd

Isn’t Amazon Prime, to get “free 2 day shipping” up to about $139 a year? And they have missed 2 days on more shipments than I care to count over the years…

Trust me. We more than make out OK with Prime shipping...

I routinely receive one day shipping for various items using Amazon Prime. Guessing there's a warehouse somewhere near me in Texas.

But, but, but your get Prime TV, of nothing you want to watch and on the rare occasions you do see something it's pay to see. Of course, if you pay a bit more you get it ad free with ads
Out here in the willy wags there is no same day or next day, lucky if we get it next week.

Same here. I'm guessing San Antonio or Corpus Christi for the fast shipping on some items. Between my wife and I, the Prime membership is worth it for us.

Last thing I ordered from Amazon came that same day. They got the best shipping business model by a large margin.

Amazon
UPS
USPS
Fed Ex

That is the order in my experience. And the USPS used to be below FedEx until two weeks ago when it took Fed Ex 11 days to send me a package when tracking showed it a half hour from my house and today as the delivery date for the last 6 days of that.

I watch Prime all the time. Second best streaming service IMO. After Apple TV.

First 5 episodes of this season of Reacher is on there right now. Check it out.

watched the 1st season and it was better than average, but the Alan Ritchson's mouth twisted my tail and I'm not over it yet. I'm more of a Curiosity Stream and Great Courses nerd. Then truth be told TV bores me to tears and I fall asleep.

To me all those action shows/movies are just a way to not have to think about reality for awhile. And I liked all the books.
