This is the notice I received from Amazon today for an order placed November 12, 2025. The original delivery date was today, November 15, 2025. Now, I should point out they didn't send a notice, I had to find this in my order portal. So now, instead of a two-day window, it's eight (8) days. And I'm paying Prime prices for this?
I think maybe it's time for Steve Bezos to get off his obscenely expensive yacht and take back the reins of the company his entire fortune is based on. The Starbuck CEO had to do that as have other CEO's.
Deliveries are getting more iffy each passing week. Can you imagine the forthcoming Christmas rush?
This isn't the first time either. After waiting several weeks for two different orders, they were simply cancelled. No notice. No warning. I had to go to my orders to find they were simply cancelled ...by Amazon! I re-ordered one of the items and it did arrive in two days. I found the other locally cheaper. (Thank you Walmart).
Money is tight right now and, as the saying goes, "Every penny counts" and believe me it does especially if you're an 80 year old senior. Are the items critical? No. Would they be useful yes. A lot of things can be ordered for $140.00 a year. It saves driving time I realize but if you need something quickly...I'm just say'in.
As I write this, I just received a text from Amazon that the movie, normally left in the mailbox, was undeliverable. They will try later. They have used that mailbox 100 times over nine years. It was never delivered.
I'll tell you one thing, I would never switch my medicine sales and delivery to Amazon. You just might be dead by the time you got it!
AI and robots may be in our future but we're not there yet. We've discovered despite their massive data base, just like humans, if they don't know the answer, they make things up. Not something you'd want on a flight to Mars!
Just a warning before the Christmas rush. Have a back-up plan!!!
