Selecting One-Day or Two-Day shipping will reduce the transit time to one or two business days after we've shipped your order, but it won't impact how long it takes us to obtain the item or prepare it for shipment. Because Amazon Delivery Agents deliver products till 8PM. That’s the truth. The other two show tracking yours and are late. 3 Answers.

Preparation time (2 business days) and standard shipping (up to 14 business days) could equal 3.5 weeks for an order placed on a Saturday, for example, as 16 business days is more than 3 weeks.Im in the U.K and lose a lot of customers because the delivery times are so exagerated…customers arent prepared to wait as long as Amazon state…when in reality its only a fraction…Fortunately, Experienced Buyers ignore these Delivery Dates…But some New Buyers are shocked at how long it may take to get their item…The important thing is the mailing date…After That Its in the hands of the Post Office or UPS, etc…And they are usually quite Fast…BUT Neither AZ or Sellers have ANYTHING To say about it… Things Arrive on their own time and That’s usually fairly quick…These estimates are simply boilerplate guesses based on worst case scenarios that seldom happen…The issue isn’t that Amazon gives an exaggerated estimate for the worst case scenario, it’s that they don’t give an accurate picture by stating the delivery estimate is, for example, 4 to 21 business days. Amazon’s interests are going to come before ours. Mine don’t go anywhere near that and I am not FBAThe tracking page also provides the tracking number from the shipper (USPS, UPS etc) and a buyer could copy and paste that number into the shippers website and get a more detailed account of where the package is in the system.USPS is now providing free tracking numbers for all first class and media mail packages so there buyers should easily be able to track their packages.Amazon certainly does not cater to big sellers.

There are three orders I've placed that were shipped usps. I ask because I had a customer ask why their expected delivery date was 3 1/2 weeks after it was shipped. The multiple "picked up by shipping partner" thing is kinda weird though. Yes there are some advantages to being a bigger seller on Amazon, but there also comes more risk. Amazon says my package is "On the way" and "Arriving today by 8pm" but USPS says its in "Pre-shipment" Saying otherwise helps Amazon while giving customers a completely inaccurate perception of expected delivery times.Edited by: elphaba_www_books on Jun 10, 2015 8:45 AMEdited by: elphaba_www_books on Jun 10, 2015 8:49 AMOn my first-class mail shipments it sets a delivery window from 4-21 days. I contacted Amazon today and they said it would be coming from a nearby facility. I ask because I had a customer ask why their expected delivery date was 3 1/2 weeks after it was shipped. This is very off-putting for foreign buyers. Well, if Amazon is to be believed, it can get to him in less than a day, across multiple states, even if it hasn’t shipped yet. I ask because I had a customer ask why their expected delivery date was 3 1/2 weeks after it was shipped. This is just one example of many as to how Amazon cannot be trusted to support 3rd sellers.
