It seems Amazon is giving one day free shipping on all in stock prime supported products some items. Earlier it used to be 2 day free shipping.

  • Update
    Free One Day Prime Delivery will only apply to certain products that are in-stock at an Amazon Warehouse near your delivery address. It is not a universal guarantee by Amazon as it appears to apply on a per-item basis. It appears to only be available in NSW at the moment (no such option in VIC, SA, WA addresses) and we suspect it would only be metro areas. Please report the deal if you see otherwise.

      This is the natural progression of Amazon's logistics network as it grows and they become self-sufficient with their own vans and delivery drivers. Same thing happened in the UK. Next steps will be same-day delivery (order before 9AM to be delivered by 9PM) and then eventually 1-2 hour delivery of some products in CBDs. Looking forward to it!

            @Bettyboo: Actually, Australia Post do seem to take a photo of where they leave your parcel. I found this out a few months ago when I had a parcel stolen, and they were able to provide me with a photo of it (or what looked like it), in my post box (someone walked past & stole it though) ;s. But yeh, I think they have a secret camera in the device where you sign for your parcel.

      One day shipping has been the norm for many products on US Amazon for a long time, Amazon was famous for it for a while. Like Hybroid said, this is just Amazon flexing what they are really famous for, which is global logistics. They are bringing Australia into the 21st century. Amazon has had one day shipping for some standard items for a while here too, randomly you'll buy something at night and suddenly it comes the next morning, they must have had a warehouse full if it in Adelaide ready to go because they knew X amount of people would order that same thing in Adelaide. Or maybe their algorithm starts moving inventory around the country in anticipation of someone ordering one by the time it reaches that city. They just need to put it in a new box with your label on it and it's ready to go.

        See your vision of how it's supposed to work is admirable.

        But the reality is that they need human bodies working at insane pace to actually function.

        In Germany the average picker was given 15-20s to locate/scan and pick each item.

        It's a system that makes humans work like machines. You can even choose a "fill this order at a standard human pace" or the old "combine items into one package before shipping.

        The majority of this info came from a anti-amazon documentary that's actually on Amazon Prime Video…

        Didn't neg you but maybe you should have asked yourself if it's even possible to receive US/UK orders in 24 hours considering direct flights to SYD from LAX take 15 hours, and from JFK via HND or LHR via DXB is at least 23 hours. So yeah, perhaps with a Concorde.

    Where's the evidence for this? For all we know, this is just hearsay

    I'm very skeptical that they'd be able to establish 1d shipping nation-wide given that Australia is so sparsely populated unlike the US, UK, and even my home of Canada

    1d shipping within CBDs, sure. But all across the board? dunthinkso

        Prime in the UK used to be next-day delivery GUARANTEED. If they failed to deliver, you contacted support and got an extra MONTH of Prime free every time. They eventually stopped that, haha.

        They were still banking on revenue from the letter services. It was apparent for literally everybody that paper letters are going to decline since early 90's but they were still not prepared for it in 2020. AusPost should just make way, they are too bureaucratically tied up and costly.

          They wouldn't sell 'physical' gift cards on their digital shopfront and send them by incurring additional postage cost (and extra time for consumers) if they were digitally advance.

        • DealhunterMelbourne on 29/08/2020 - 19:32

      +1

      AusPost posties will still leave a card for you to pickup the order from post office on the next day after 10AM, which beats the whole purpose of this logistics advancement by Amazon. AusPost parcels is ok though- they deliver at the door so don't leave a notification card in mailbox. Not sure when Amazon uses standard AusPost and when AusPost Parcel service.

If anything, the interstate orders are coming in next day or so which usually makes them 1-3 days earlier than the ETA on the order when you check out.

    The sad thing is that Amazon is playing nice because it's in the "monopoly building phase", the casedemic would surely have dealt a blow to a lot of its competition.

    • virhlpool on 29/08/2020 - 11:03
      +1

      Two points - Its so called monopoly building phase has been and will run for years. It's kinda a couple of decades of our life so if it is being nice to me for this long, then I don't mind anyway. Secondly, Amazon pricing is equally good in the markets where it is relatively more mature so I don't think its strategy will change once it gets mature in a market.

    • IDontWantToSignUpJu… on 29/08/2020 - 11:03

      Its competition have had decades to do the exact same thing and they haven't. If Amazon manage to snag a monopoly by actually giving consumers what they want by investing huge amounts in its product instead of just hoarding profits, they deserve any monopoly they receive.

    Has anyone noticed the opposite of this occuring recently?
    My Prime delivery timeframes have gone from the usual 2 days to 4-5 in some cases eg. I ordered an in-stock Amazon-fulfilled item on Wednesday and the delivery will be Tuesday next week.

    Coincidentally, I've noticed our prime orders are only being delivered by what I assume to be the Aus Post guy for our area which I assume is why delivery times have blown out a bit.
