I didn't renew my Amazon Prime after they pulled this "one-day" BS on me more than once:

Hopefully Walmart will have better shipping logistics.

Yeah; I learned early on to always change the delivery from "1 day" to standard 2 day prime shipping. 1 day delivery always ends up with some joker trying to deliver a package at 9PM and marking it as "attempted delivery" without knocking or calling the number in my delivery notes. I've never had a problem with 2 day shipping, but 1 day always ends up being a nightmare.

Not to point out the obvious but your example is an order placed on Cyber Monday...so the biggest online shopping day of the entire year...you might experience a slight delay that week.

I don't have a problem with delays... I have a problem with them being deliberately misleading about delivery times on their product pages.

It happened several times where they used the term "same/one-day" delivery yet at checkout the delivery time was 2-3 days out. So... in other words... they knew damn well what the time frame was, but deliberately chose to use "bait-n-switch" like methods.

Parent was not complaining about slow shipping.

Parent was complaining about misadvertized shipping.

Sam's has been offering free 2 day shipping to plus members for awhile. My order never fails to be marked delivered by Fedex on day 2.

It doesn't actually arrive until day 5...
