2112 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I pay for prime, and had items delivered to a UK address over the weekend. However, some of the items on Amazon even for Prime are taking up to 48 hours instead of next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tried everything to get an Amazon order to no avail - usual not available message. You can’t get anything electrical or containing battery, like mobile phone.

Didn't bother looking at delivery as I wasn't in a hurry and (reading this thread) expected it would take a while. It arrived today. Fully charged too...

kevster Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Once dispatched it’s fairly quick. Problem at the moment seems to be getting stuff ready to dispatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve tried to order various things electrical with an inbuilt battery like tablets and mobile phone etc and not had much luck. I ordered a pair of decent wireless headphones, guess what, they wouldn’t deliver here so I ordered and they delivered to an address in the UK. I had cause to send back a faulty item earlier this year, which I bought from Amazon and was delivered in the UK. I parcelled it up and pasted the return label and returned via Manx Independent Carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWU were on strike part of last week so probably massive backlog that they want overtime to clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User Name Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) estimated delivery dates seem to be back on track, 2/3 day delivery 🙂 check your delivery address, if it includes United Kingdom rather than Isle of Man then that puts it back a week.

HiVibes Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Cheers all those who contacted Amazon and made them aware of issue, and kicked up a fuss about prime. Now all the things I used to order with free shipping are now £4.99 unless you have prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now, don't ruin a perfectly good tantrum with facts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered some stuff on Sunday afternoon and haven't even had an email to say that they are processing the orders. Unannounced, one item arrived on Wednesday (14/9) the other one yesterday. Both, it seems, were picked from the same warehouse. Not sure why they were sent out separately especially since I checked the box about shipping stuff together to save on cost!
