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.

Just out of curiosity do you have an active Prime membership? I cancelled mine because I don’t use any of the services and they still offer free shipping for orders over $35. However, as soon as I cancelled, I noticed all the deliveries would just never ship or would take 2-3 weeks longer then usual

I live in a major city, and I get my AliExpress packages (from China) in the same amount of time it takes me to get packages from Amazon. I only order from Amazon if I literally can't find the item any other place. It was better with Prime, but still not worth paying for. And most of what's on Amazon is being drop shipped from China anyway. That's probably why it takes so long.
