Oh thanks let me pay 100 dollars a year to get my item in 2 days instead of walking over to Target and paying the same price and having it on the same day gently caress you.

let me pay 60 dollars a year so a shady courier can throw someone else's package at my house from the window of a moving car on his way up the street, take a smartphone photo of it on my porch on his way back down the street, and sign his name on a delivery receipt in my name

i'd take actual delivery via regular mail "probably by the end of this week" over next-day whatever the gently caress that is

I just called support and told them to de-prioritize LaserShip and to prioritize USPS as a delivery method. I live like a block away from the post office so things either show up extremely early or extremely late in the day.

same except canada post, because postal services are actually really very good at a) delivering things and b) making sure you get them and c) not loving you in hte process

In Hawaii, Prime membership does not give you free 2 day shipping, it gives you free standard rate shipping which they re-name "prime" after you subscribe. Standard rate shipping is already free in Hawaii without a Prime membership. According to several Amazon representatives, the 5-7 business days for standard shipping as stated by them begins after they ship the item, which I have seen take up to three weeks.

Additionally, the fact that all packages I've ordered for the past decade go to Hawaii and all my saved addresses are in Hawaii does not prevent them from advertising incorrect fast delivery dates before checkout. It also does not let you know that you are not getting any shipping benefits before you purchase prime; you have to click through like four links to find it from the main Prime menu. They also have no search options to hide items that will not deliver outside the continental 48, and only alert you that there is no possible way to actually get the item you're trying to purchase until the last step of checkout.

When Amazon first launched Prime, instead of just changing the name and giving you nothing like they do now, it made getting the previously available free standard shipping impossible. It only gave you the "2 day Prime" option as a minimum, which doesn't work in Hawaii, so it would kick you back at the end to choose one of the options that cost money. For the first year after it launched, the $100 Prime subscription was actually a downgrade.

They couldn't give less of a poo poo about Hawaii and likely never will.

Some stuff they inexplicably get to you in no time at all, but most stuff takes forever. For example I ordered a book for a Christmas present on Monday and it got here today, but I ordered some slippers two weeks ago and they haven't shipped yet. Both are "Fulfilled by Amazon.com"
