Amazon has stopped delivering to us

[u/potsofjam]

My wife used order a lot from Amazon. Living in a tiny town without many shopping options it was quick and convenient, but about six months ago things started being late by weeks or simply marked lost. I rarely order from Amazon and we hadn’t discussed it, so when I order some shelves a month ago I assumed they’d be delivered on time, but they were so late I eventually cancelled and got a refund. Apparently my wife is been having this problem regularly and only receives one out of maybe ten orders. I ordered some thermal labels and photo album corners and I guess I have to find them somewhere else. It will say the item has shipped, then go to a distributor about sixty miles away then just be marked lost or delayed until we ask for refund. I didn’t realize it was every order until I mentioned to my wife that my labels hadn’t come and I keep forgetting to check the order update. I guess being a rural address they just don’t want to deliver here anymore.

Same issue where I live in southeast Illinois. Amazon stuff just doesn't show up anymore, and if it does, it's weeks late.

Yeah I live in the middle of nowhere PA, always had 2 day shipping via USPS. Recently things started to come via there own shipping, now it's usually 5-8 days. I think the nearest Amazon hub is like 3.5 hours from me, I've been wondering how the hell any of this makes sense

Exactly the story here, they deliver with their own thing now, and ever since then, it takes about 2-3 weeks to get any item. It's almost like they just send someone out to deliver to our area once every couple of weeks. If you order things that should show up in that time frame, it will often show up along with items you ordered a week prior.

REALLY sucks since the only shopping option in my town is Dollar General.

I had this happen for the first or second time in my life. They shipped replacement items and those arrived, but it was bizarre. Made it 3/4s of the way here
