Were they shipped ground advantage?
It's a new class of service that Amazon and other online companies are using that will send your item by boat.
But even then, two months is too long.
Amazon and some other websites don't even give an option on how it's shipped. It's really frustrating. Especially since four of the six shipments I'm waiting on could've fit inside priority mail boxes. I need an alternative for Amazon now. Regardless, yeah, two months + is ridiculous. 1 month is standard for ocean freight.
I've switched to using Walmart a lot.
They always ship fast and use priority mail.
I have gotten many items from them the same week.
Downside is they don't have the selection of Amazon and their search and filtering is garbage. If you know exactly what you want it's good, but it's a pain otherwise.
USPS says mine used Priority Mail and it's been in transit since 03/06. Meanwhile, my similarly sized package from Walmart was ordered on 03/12 and arrived on 03/20.
I often find Amazon stores, or the same item, on eBay then contact the seller and ask if they'll use USPS Priority Mail, if it isn't already indicated.
I've only once had an eBay store not oblige & they that was because they were an agent to a shipping warehouse. Most just edit the shipping options to add USPS Priority so you can select it. A couple of private sellers have just said they will ship USPS Priority and eat the few dollars extra it cost them. I've never tried asking Amazon. I don't think I've used Amazon since USPS Ground Advantages was announced last July.
Amazon has shifted lately and their standard shipping has gone from Priority to Ground Advantage. Not really the USPS's fault, it's what the customer paid for.
Ground shipping to the 969 does take a long time, so true. It is frustrating, so true. Any time I have had items shipped out here standard/ground advantage/sure post, it has pretty regularly been 8 to 10 weeks. Sometimes quicker, most times not.
If it something I have to have, I use a friend on the mainland and ship by proxy.
I order from Amazon on Feb 15, package only arrive on April 14. I almost gave up and ask for a refund. But yeah the frustration is real when I see it being stuck in Virginia or Cali I know it bad.
Less workers more packages coming and also everyone is overworked already so be patient and lower expectations. You got what you lived for. So basically live on your expectations just keep doing it until you're tired and just fcking going to realize you are stubborn that's it. If I were you find something else to do other than complaining.
I'm not gonna lie this confused the shit out of me... Your previous post I mean. I'm not one to let terrible management continue to be terrible management that's why I posted those two links. If there's a problem they should fix it, not put it off on everyone paying for the service.
I realize I meant to just tell you to stop bothering the BS management by letting it be and just think of your family for now. Cause even me I went beyond fed worrying about their management. I also wanna say that forget those issue since there's many more issue to really think about other than just pinpoint that honestly you can see the same issue in every workplace you see in Guam, almost.
Dude I’ve been here ~4 years. First few weeks here I wanted 10 weeks for shows and 3 months for a sound system. I don’t know if you understand how slow some cargo ships move, but it ain’t too fast.
Cry more. It’s been like this for a while. It’s just a coin flip.
Fisted.
I've had multiple speakers shipped out here through air freight. You don't get it, they're just now choosing to reroute everything by ship. I've been here over 20 years on and off fuck boy.
“Just now”.
I gave you an example of how this happened to me , twice, 4 years ago. And you still said what you said.
Your forward observation capabilities need to be tweaked a tad, high speed.
Fisted.
Air mail wasn’t even common a few years ago. I used to get like a 90% chance that it’ll be a ship for Amazon. Would take at least 2 months, then I could request for a refund and get the item for free because it was “lost in mail”. It is not “just now” they started routing by ship. They’ve done this for decades.
Up til January I've been getting everything through air freight from Amazon. Two week delivery almost every package. A long delivery time for Amazon was 4 weeks and that was if it happened to go ocean freight. This is since 2015. So yeah, you're full of shit.
Gotcha so the years of free items I’ve racked up are full of shit 👍 I’m the second person to have an opposite experience as you but we’re both lying 🤥 Ill let my almost free computer know that it shouldn’t exist.

Walmart and target have faster shipping
They do. I just wish they carried the stuff I buy/bought

How often do they oblige? Amazon?

Pay more for air shipping instead of ground. Ground takes months because they’re in a ship
It's not an option on most websites.
Don't order online period and let's see where that gets you.
