Why hasn't Amazon shipped my order?

Posted at: 2015-07-28 
Okay, so on Friday night, (May 2nd to be exact.) I ordered three books, a CD and a bookmark for my sister, and Amazon has yet to ship it. Is this a weekend thing or not? I'm not sure if this is a normal thing as I rarely order anything from Amazon, but could someone please help me? And just so I don't get pestered about not putting all the details, I made sure everything I ordered was in stock, and it is. I used standard shipping as I don't want to pay for faster shipping, it's honestly a waste of money to me. Thanks!!

Let me take a slightly different approach to your question.

It doesn't matter. It really doesn't.

What you should care about is when you RECEIVE your order. Leave it up to Amazon to decide when, and by what method, to ship it.

I order lots of stuff from Amazon. Most of it is with PRIME, but some items can't ship that way. Still, if Amazon says it'll arrive in 2 days, I don't care whether they strap the package to the back of a camel or put it in a jet. Same with things that don't ship PRIME and might take a few days longer.

Sometimes the package ships right away. Sometimes it comes by truck all the way from the origin. In other cases, it comes most of the way by plane. It really doesn't matter, and I don't care.

What I DO care about is that if Amazon says it'll arrive on, say, the 8th, that I get it by the 8th. And 99 times out of 100, I do.

Look: It'll ship. And it'll arrive on time. As for when it ships or its routing or the method used to get it to you, leave that to Amazon. OK?

Hope that helps.

Standard shipping takes around 5-7 days, plus there's no mail on sundays AND it's a bank holiday tomorrow.

it depends what time it was if its after 10pm pacific coast time

[since amazon is based in washington they use

pacific time,

for we know they haven't even process your order

then

yes they may say they have item stock

but its very possible the closest fulfilment center might

not have the all books you order

so then the order has been passed to another fulfillment center

Good grief give them a chance, they haven't started using drones yet .LOL. It usually takes a week.

If you really expected the order to be shipped before Monday you should have paid for the fast shipping. There is no shipping on the weekend from retailers.
