Now and again, when I ordered something from Amazon marketplace, I'd get the confirmation email followed about an hour later by the 'your item has been dispatched and you can no longer cancel this order' one. But the delivery date would be about ten days away. Obviously just marked as dispatched so you couldn't cancel. Everyone seems to be at it now. Ordered something this morning, two emails, delivery on 26th. Bastards.
These are UK sellers BTW.

I rarely use the marketplace, anything I but is usually only £1 more on Amazon anyway and the delivery dates are spot on.

Same here, if it's not actually being sold and supplied by Amazon, I don't buy it.

Same, just Prime it via Amazon's own sales.

^^ what he said.

Prime is a real bargain for us and I'll only buy non-prime as a weapon of last resort.

We paid express delivery for a needed  urgently item for a disabled relative. This was on the Wed. Email came saying will be delivered Monday!

Rang and said no good.  Operative said will make sure it is on the lorry for delivery on Thursday. Thanks. Except it was delivered on.       The Monday.

Amazon.

Amazon.

I've ordered on Prime in the morning, it's been delivered before dinner same day.

Often order up to 11PM in evening, it's delivered in an Amazon locker the next day at work before I go home.

Looks like I'm going to have to eat my words. It's out for delivery and will be here around 11

Ah . . . . . . eat my words time   


I wanted two copies of a book. RRP: £40 each, Amazon £26 each, Marketplace £8.99 each. I've ordered, so let's see how it goes.

Ten to eleven...it arrived 

[Terbs]

Had deliveries on prime, same day. As said, I only use prime, sold and fullfilled by Amazon. I like to know when stuff is going to arrive. Gone are the days of waiting in, hoping it will come when they say, and it never does, so a wasted day !!!!

Amazon are normally too expensive to make Prime worthwhile (and the streaming service is probably the worse of the lot), so I rarely order much from there.  But when I do, it has to be fulfilled by Amazon, even if its a marketplace seller.

Amazon, like egay, is generally for the lazy (or cheap, unreliable Chinese tat in egays case)

Don't you have to pay a subscription for Amazon Prime? 

[TheBoy]

Don't you have to pay a subscription for Amazon Prime? 

Yes. Around £7pm iirc.

You have to buy a lot of shit from them to make that up

Thought so.  Think I looked at it a while back and decided it was a con.
