And it not coming at all, because the firm had gone bust or disappeared, which seemed to happen a lot.
There was no easy way of knowing that Messrs Techno-Tat was actually operating out of a shoebox for letters in a tobacconist's.

I always choose the cheapest Amazon delivery and stuff always arrives quickly. I can't imagine doing anything else.

Jokes, stamps and body building from the Beano and Dandy ?
Did anyone buy the X-ray specs ?
Quite. Why anyone pays for premium delivery is beyond me.

Sometimes you really do want it tomorrow guaranteed :)
yeah I had one of those 'delivered it to your safe place' (porch out of the rain).
Nothing.
Got refund on one item and another of the other item
a week later I noticed a soggy mess of brown cardboard blowing in the back garden
It was a disintegrated Amazon parcel, with a ruined book inside, and a bit of electronics with soggy packaging that actually worked when I dried it out. I think I deserved that.
Amazons own delivery= worst there is.
Then I'd pay more - simples. But it hasn't happened yet.
Probably because they get confused trying to navigate around the delivery options - which always gravitate towards Prime and paid-for next day delivery!
I rarely use Aamzon now, but made a distress purchse of a hard disk yesterday. I got express delivery.
DPD delivered it today.
I always use the free delivery from Amazon, & would be very surprised if it didn't arrive before the forecast date.
I believe that "loophole" was closed in 2012/3.
Yodel not delivering round your way then?

Three times I've paid Amazon extra for expedited delivery when I absolutely needed things fast (twice from people who sell through them and once an Amazon giftcard) and have been let down every time. Bastards, all of 'em!
If I really want it in a hurry I could go to a shop. Nothing wrong with Amazon's free delivery. I usually collect from Amazon locker at Faringdon and it most often arrives earlier than the date quoted.
I used to work for a company will a mail-order department. The wait 28 days was only on the form because everyone else did it. The orders could have been turned round in a few days, but because of that 28 days nobody worried about the time until the backlog reached 27 days, then PANIC.
I am just up the road from their "fulfillment center" in Dunfermline (I am in Balerno Nr Edinburgh) so virtually all deliveries from them are next day, I can see no need for prime .
That's OK if there's a shop nearby that sells it. There wasn't, in my case.
Interesting. In that case, I wonder why so many companies choose to supply goods to the UK from the Channel islands.
Also - why they still don't want to group together all the goods into one delivery?
In my experience Citylink were the worst. I didn't feel sad when they went bust.
On the other hand, Amazon deliveries have tended to be very good.
