Anyone else experience that their “same day delivery” items never arrive on the same day?
I’ve been Prime member since Amazon arrived in Oz but really starting to question the value of its membership. Prime TV offerings in recent years have been poor to say the least, and annoying how much they push additional paid ad on services. Insult to injury, adding adverts in recent months. Prime day was non starter the past 2 years.
I’ve never really been fussed about the same day delivery and it has only ever been offered for about 1/3 of my purchases. In recent weeks it just clicked with me that none of my “same day deliveries” have ever arrived on the advertised same day.
Yesterday I put in an order a knife sharpener (as it was cheaper than at bricks and mortar). Then, “add and additional $20.20 to qualify for same day delivery”, added a few items to get to the threshold, place the order. “Arriving today before 9pm”. Then at 10pm “sorry for the delay. If it has not arrived in another 4 days, contact us for a refund”.
I live within 3km of Flinders Street Station so doesn’t really get more central in Melbourne. Just seems “same day delivery” has zero guarantee and no consequence for non delivery, is this false or deceptive advertising? In my case, I would not have added that additional $20 of items if not for the promise of same day delivery
We don't have same-day delivery (yet) but any Prime orders before midnight are delivered next day like clockwork. Never had an issue. Might be something with your specific location, route or the delivery partner there. Worth following up with support.
