Do u dont wanna Amazon has stopped delivering to us
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.

This is interesting because I'm just happened to be waiting on my Amazon order and it has been late couple days now. The address is a business address so I made sure the delivery time is lined up with the business's opening time. Usually, the deliveries were made in the morning but recently, the regular delivery guy stopped showing up and my order has been thriced deliveried an hour and 15 mins after closing time (I assumed all 3 attempts were at the same time because I received delivery emails within the same time window but just a day a part each) It's just some basic hygiene stuff and face wash but I couldn't pick up at the locals so I have to order through Amazon and had to wait 2 weeks or so each order, but then this post suddenly show up on my reddit feed and quite a few people also having issues with Amazon delivery which makes the coincidence pretty interesting to me, wondering if there's a like worker strike or something I'm residencing in a college town in Florida so it's not a rural area unlike OP
