Since when does Amazon build in a shipping delay on items?

Except I paid for the upgraded shipping in the first place.

Oops, I'll shut my pie hole then. :cry::lol:

I think I understood it until I mis-read the post that I quoted. Sorry, long frustrating day trying to figure out Elements 6 (coming from 5) and my new Wacom Tablet. Brain is fried.

In my experience, items marked "in stock and ships via Amazon.com" do not ship as quickly, regardless of Free Super Saver Shipping or Prime. BUT, if you pay for expedited shipping and do not receive it, file a complaint and see what remedy they'll offer. I have found that Amazon deals very well with complaints and often offers acceptible solutions.

I don't think they are really in stock - they are ordering as they get orders.

Amazon is not a drop-shipper. They have actual warehouses that they own and operate.

Amazon used to have the "Usually ships in 24 hours" thing that actually ship in 24 hours. But in the last year or so, items leaving their warehouse have become slow. It takes about 2 days for in-stock items to ship. Still, they usually have the best prices and free shipping/no tax makes just everything a good deal.

This is fairly new. It sucks, actually. Hopefully MA doesn't do this anytime soon

I use the free shipping (Super Saver), but don't see why that should affect when the item is picked for shipping. It should be picked that day or the next day (come on it's managed by computer). Special handling is different - it is done ASAP. But there is no reason for it to take more than a few days to get into the shipping system.

Exactly my thoughts. I've had free shipping items not go out of their warehouse for 5 days. One day and I wouldn't think twice about it. Two days I probably wouldn't even notice. Five days is just bad customer service regardless if you paid shipping extortion fee or not.

I ordered a battery grip from Amazon yesterday with free shipping. Checking the status and the grip will not ship until the 8th.

I wrote another company asking to price match. If so, I will be cancelling the Amazon order!
