Not possible Amazon

[poker1059]

My SSD shipped by Amazon is supposed to arrive to me by 8 PM but the tracking still says it's in Illinois in a place 5 and 1/2 hours away from me... I don't whether to be outside in the negative degree weather waiting for it, or to expect it to be here Monday...

what time is it for you?

I don't know what you're worried about, I've had monitors go 6 hours in one day during a storm.

If you choose "require a signature" in shipping you'll know exactly when it arrives

about 4:30

That's crazy, It seems like Amazon procrastinates on shipping then lol

Amazon is strange that way.

Another Iowa boy here.  It's not negative temps, but it's still below freezing.  I actually had to run out in shorts and barefoot before one of the household members ran over my package that Fedex left in the driveway.

I've seen the same thing happen many times, only see updates from the large USPS facilities and not the local post office.  I live in remote northern MN and the last update I usually get on USPS shipments is when it arrives in Minneapolis or Duluth.  Better clear the snow off your drone landing pad!

I'm in the middle of nowhere, but I'm not too far from Cedar Rapids.

When I lived up in Badger I wouldn't even look at the tracker because it was useless lol.

Dell got 2 day shipping on my RMA and fedex picked it up on Thursday. For some reason they put a note that says only deliver on weekday so now i'm waiting a couple extra days until Monday to get my laptop back.

15 minutes left. Who thinks it'll be here before 8 and who thinks not?

[poker1059]

Still not here... 1 hour late

I have had a lot of issues with amazon tracking, including getting an email saying "your delivery has been rescheduled at your request" but when I contacted them that was the first they had heard of it.

 

I have also had issues with delivery drivers just not attempting to make a delivery when the address is for my work and we get delivery's multiple times a day.

The whole "before 8" thing is a dumb, that's just a rough estimate based on how late most courier companies work.  When you order from Amazon enough, you know exactly when your courier trucks arrive.  For example, the UPS guy usually comes around at 3-4, the USPS package delivery usually comes in the late morning or late afternoon, the ONTRAC guys come really early, or really late (like 7-8pm), and same-day delivery dudes in their Honda civics normally come by 9 or 10.  This varies by location, I suspect your package just got delayed at a spot and Amazon isn't smart enough to tell you that if it isn't out for delivery that morning, it's probably not getting to you.

I got an Amazon order that arrived today that was split into two deliveries, one by Fedex and one by UPS.  UPS usually arrives at 8AM and Fedex at 1PM.  I was surprised when both arrived at the same time, and being drunk, kind of wondered if they were going to get into a fist fight.
