Stinks!!!  I had a part break on my mower. So I went to web to find a part. Found several on Amazon. And one showed "In Stock", so I thought, that's great! Maybe I can get it faster. It has a "track your order" tab, so I have been watching it. As of yesterday, it just read "In Process", So I asked the seller, "If an item is in stock, why does it take 5 days to get it out of your shop and in the mail to me?", I received a response today, "Yes, we have your item in stock. Thank You"  WTH is that suppose to mean... So, then I checked the status, and now it says, "Order Picked" It takes 5 days to PICK an order, PLEASE!!!!!! I placed the order 4/28 and now it is saying estimated delivery 5/9

So, the seller on Amazon sucks...
I try my best to only make orders that are handled by Amazon directly, for this very reason.

Guess DD Regs will have some mighty tall grass for awhile.
IMO Amazon and Amazon Prime provide the best shopping and shipping ever. I've ordered from private sellers on Amazon and never had a problem, you just have to be aware of their shipping policies and the time frame in which you need the product. Still though, just the other day I wasn't paying attention and ordered a porch flag from Amazon, checked out and paid, then realized the confirmation page said I would get it around June 16th. I immediately cancelled it and kept looking.

I realized I was starting to have a bit of an Amazon Prime addiction and had to cut back. The app on my phone is really dangerous. In the past few months I've bought combs, a garden hose, car washing supplies like soap and towels, golf balls, shoes, an ax sharpener, two pressure cookers, several books, wine, and my wife's power washer.

This. If is doesn't say shipped by Amazon I won't order it. Ditto. We have a distribution close by now... have ordered in the evening and have had it arrive the next morning already. Love Amazon.

My experience is that if it's not shipped by Amazon there is no point in ordering it through Amazon. I limit responses to "Prime" listings and, if what I want is not there, I look somewhere else.

Preach on Brother!
It's too easy. And the one-button purchase is toxic

I just woke up on the floor of my office. I must have blacked out. My email says I just ordered two boxes or razor blades, a 50lb bag of dog-food, and a 60" 4k TV.

I ordered an item on Tuesday the 3rd and had it on my desk the morning of Wednesday the 4th. I have always had good customer service with Amazon Prime. I accidentally ordered something in error and immediately cancelled it and all was good. One time I ordered and item twice and they told me to just keep the second one and only charged me for one.

I limit responses to "Prime" listings and, if what I want is not there, I look somewhere else. ^^^^ This. Or I look at the estimated shipping time and decide accordingly. Recently ordered an elevated water bowl for the dogs. It was shipped from Ireland and took 4-5 weeks. I also read the reviews and was aware it would take a long time to be delivered. But for $9.95 the dogs could wait for their new water bowl. Now if it's for me it has to be Prime and two day delivery, otherwise I check elsewhere and sometimes it's cheaper than ordering from Amazon.

I look for the Prime 2-day shipping and then select the Slow Shipping method to get digital credit for e-books.  (When I can. Sometimes I really do need it quickly.)

For all the regular Amazon users - don't forget to support your favorite charity by using Amazon Smile! (Yes, you can still get your Prime benefits, too.)
ETA: if you need a suggestion, check out Tiger Stripes. It's a sanctuary owned and run by friends of mine.
