Oh no, I’m not getting involved in that other Amazon thread.

Trying to order a tool I need ASAP. Listing show it as arriving “tomorrow” Oct.16

Put it in my cart and go to check out and suddenly it’s showing Sunday, October 18.

Wait a second….

I refresh the page. It says the same thing. I go back to the first page and refresh, it still says arriving tomorrow.

I go back to the checkout and refresh again now it says “October 16 and October 18.” Huh? How is that possible? Whatever could you mean. (Wink wink, are you trying to tell me something?)

Go back to the listing and refresh still saying tomorrow, October 16. Back to the checkout and refresh now it’s just saying “October 16”

I DON’T BELIEVE YOU!!! lmao


So I ordered it. And when it doesn’t come tomorrow, I will cancel it, and I will continue to curse Amazon‘s constant betrayal and false hopes.

Save screenshot showing October 16. If it does not arrive that day, discuss with Amazon customer service. Very high probability that they will offer some sort of compensation.

I've been noticing that behavior frequently these days. Items says it would arrive w/in 2 days. Then purchase and it indicates arrival in a week (sometimes even more). Not sure what's going on with that. I think they allow you to order things that are not in inventory - backordered or delayed.

I ordered one thing recently and indicated that it would arrive in 2 weeks. But the product page continued to indicate next day arrival - I was tempted to cancel and order again to see if it would arrive sooner.

Again - not much faith in modern sw....

I have also had this happen several times in the past few months. One of the big reasons we pay extra for Prime is the promise of free Next-Day or Two-Day delivery options on eligible items at the time of the order.

I also have Prime but next day is predicated on $30 or more total order. It will say next day on the item but if less than $30 when you go to pay it will revert to a later date.

It has been like this for some time. I've almost been burned a couple times.

Once this week and once last week already "tomorrow" turned into two and five days later. It especially pisses me off with parts, when I 1.Don't buy the brand I really want so it will come sooner, then doesn't. 2. Eventually comes later than every other online or brick and mortar option.

I fully expect this order will switch to Sunday some time tomorrow evening/night. I will be shocked if it doesn't.
