Like, you order on, say, Wednesday, and it says the fastest available time is Saturday, then you pull up the page on Thursday, and it says theres a same-day option for later in the day, and even the free option is now Friday (instead of Saturday). And the funny thing is, you can’t even cancel the earlier order, that now has a later delivery time. Wtf is this? Bezos trolling?
(This isn’t a “lets trash amazon” post, I just can’t understand why companies do this weird shit, I always thought order earlier = arrive faster, this is just… weird)
I had ordered something on the 23rd and took the free standard shipping for the 27th of December. They emailed me on the 24th that my delivery day was guaranteed to be the 24th. Any other day I would have been pretty happy but it ruined my plans since I needed a one time code to accept the package!
I had a similar thing, sans the OTP. I ordered a few things on the 23rd, all in the same order. All were estimated for delivery today (the 27th). One item arrived on the 24th fairly early, but the rest are still due to arrive today. They were all sold/shipped from Amazon directly (not a 3rd party seller), and are all coming from the same FC/warehouse. Oh well. I got that one thing early which was nice!
Well that would’ve the better outcome for me. Instead, I get a “Nope, your order is still arriving at the later date, but people ordering now gets to get it faster than you do”. I feel so insulted, its like a “Lol fuck you in particular”.
