Amazon Reduces Free Shipping Minimums

Amazon is reliable as well. Two day shipping is something you can rely on.
Free shipping is no good if the arrival time is not accurate or reliable.
If I have to guess and hope that my purchase will arrive in a timely matter, I may choose to purchase locally vs. on line.

Well, that "Two day shipping" can be deceptive unless there is an actual "Deliver by" date. That "Two Day Shipping" can mean that it will take two days from the time it is shipped, which means if you order on Monday, and they don't ship til Wednesday you will get it on Friday. It's two day shipping, but not necessarily two day delivery.

I found out the hard way when I ordered a product that promised "Free Two Day Shipping", and didn't receive it for a week. When I inquired about that "Two Day Shipping" I was informed that it means it's guaranteed to only take two days from when it was shipped. If it takes a week to ship, too bad so sad.
