And while I'm on a Monday rant bitching about corporations.... anyone else notice that over the past year or so, Amazon has gotten waayy slower on shipping. And I'm not talking about action figures. I'm talking about common, in stock items, and as a non prime member. I've been ordering off Amazon for about a decade or so, and it's been noticeably slower lately. Like 4-7 days slower than normal.
I suspect it's intentional, in an attempt to coerce folks to sign up for prime. All it's coercing me to do, is order from Walmart.com instead. Walmart has been way faster lately. Yes I pay for prime, but I use it a lot. One time I ordered a case of Skyline from Walmart and one of the cans busted open because it was packed so poorly. Griff doesn't work there but I blame him anyway, for all his jokes about Skyline explosions.

At this point, I'm purchasing in stock items sold and shipped by Amazon, and they're taking about 8-12 days to arrive. When it used to be 1-5 days. It's crazy.

So as a prime customer, you haven't noticed a slow down?
