Two thumbs up for Amazon delivery today!
Ordered a couple small items late yesterday afternoon, and at checkout it asked if I want it delivered between 4-8 AM this morning or later today. I thought, sure, I'll take the early delivery like that's ever going to happen...lol I received a text from Amazon the package had been delivered around 5:45 this morning. Consider me shocked!

Even here in rural Marion, VA we at times get less than 1 day delivery.

sounds familiar...
kinda wonder what's going on, new tactic? I doubt these are regular Amazon employees, suspect working out the Uber type deliveries, maybe trucks arrive at midnight, get private contractors to deliver early AM? That 4-8 thing is amazing, also, guessing there's a delivery war going on. ** Edited by `lag at 5/21/2024, 2:24:01 PM

Clearly I ordered two items that were in a local warehouse.
Most of the time Amazon packages take a full day or two to arrive. This was about 12 hours later.

Happened to me a couple times recently, one was printer ink which was good
Having a fulfillment center local in Chesapeake helps for many items.

Must be nice. UPS cut us back to 3 days a week in my ‘hood.

Most of my deliveries via UPS take about two weeks, so I wouldn't know...
...if they dropped their deliveries to 3 days/week.
