I’ve never paid for shipping from Amazon, since my orders are always over the threshold for free shipping, currently $35. We both use Nook from B&N for e-reader. We have no interest in streaming video from Amazon.
My Amazon orders were always shipped in 1 or 2 days until May of this year. I’ve placed 7 orders since then and the average time to ship has been over 5 days, the minimum 4 days. Recently, I’ve placed orders with other vendors on the same day I placed an Amazon order. I received the items from the other vendors before Amazon even shipped my order placed the same day.
I can only conclude that Amazon is deliberately degrading shipping service for me in an attempt to coerce me into subscribing to Amazon Prime. I am not kindly disposed to pay them $99 per year in hopes of once more getting the prompt service I was previously accustomed to. I’m not interested in negotiating the ransom to get them to stop holding my orders hostage.
I sent them an email earlier today. We’ll see what they answer. I will take my business elsewhere if they continue to treat me so shabbily about shipping my stuff, even if it means a little less convenience or a slightly higher price. (I often find better prices elsewhere, anyway.)
