Next up, Amazon employees complaining about too much work. I can see how this can be an issue for people employed anywhere along the delivery chain.

Also, depending on the facility/who is handling your purchase, could receive a hastily - and sloppily packed item that gets damaged in route.

One day shipping, as great as it sounds, is useless if you have to return the package because the item was placed in a large envelope vs. a box.

Ordered a couple of thumb drives Wed afternoon and had them in hand yesterday afternoon. That was a common and very lightweight item, though. It'll be interesting to see how well they do with anything substantial.

You're doing it wrong, if you order something every day you will always have a package to open no matter how long shipping takes, duh.

I was doing major maintenance on my 335i and ended up breaking a nipple on the radiator hose for the overflow, got on Amazon they had a replacement order it 7pm Saturday night and had it at my house by 9am Sundays, that was life saver for me.

I am exaggerating to some extent, but many 1/2 day items I order take a day to process before they ship. Maybe I’m ordering the wrong things that Amazon wants me to buy like Alexa enabled products they keep hounding me about.
