I ordered something on Amazon yesterday (Saturday) and selected One Day Shipping with a guaranteed delivery date of Monday. It is now Sunday and the item still says "Shipping Soon". I contacted their support and they said that the item is still in packaging stage, but they don't foresee not being able to make the delivery deadline of tomorrow.
So...do I expect to see an Amazon employee walking up to my door tomorrow or are they paying a ridiculous same-day delivery fee...because as far as I know there isn't a single shipping carrier that operates on Sundays.
I'm not getting worked up at all. I just know that if they hadn't shipped it by EOD Saturday, there is no feasible way the thing will make it to me tomorrow. I didn't come here to complain either. I just found it funny that they still think they are going to hit a deadline with a same day delivery. I mean, if they pull it off more power to them, but I see a shipping refund in my cards.
and as usual, everyone here starts PMSing simultanously.
FedEx (ground and express, anyway) and UPS move the vast majority of their weekend shipments on Sunday, late afternoon through early Monday am. The fleets are virtually at a standstill for most of the day on Saturday.because as far as I know there isn't a single shipping carrier that operates on Sundays.
Sure they are. Lots of things can be done when you have a multi-million dollar shipping contract, like the one Amazon has.MOVE, yes. No shipments are taken in on Sundays, however.
I've only had ONE incident in which one-day shipping didn't arrive but it wasn't Amazon's fault as it was the carrier's fault (Amazon shipped in time, carrier goofed).
Just got an email from amazon apologizing for missing their deadline. Guess that answers that.
I called support. Unknown issue with shipping. They claim it will ship today. I'll believe it when I see it. It's probably out of stock.
