Amazon Prime no longer using UPS to ship?

[PliotronX]

you should have ordered it much earlier. No excuse if you fail the test.

Bleh, hindsight. Everything else is freely available but in the study guide which was dropped on us last Tuesday it referenced specific passages within the books.

Most of mine have come UPS. I did get one from USPS the other day and it was a day late. And it what's funny is it said they tried to deliver when I know they didn't. Think they do it on purpose to fulfill their agreement with Amazon.

We get Lasership ... They have made really annoying errors.

That's what I'm worried about. For my home stuff, I don't care. But I order a ton of stuff for work. If I need a tool or part the next day, I NEED IT to get here. We have great relationships with Fedex and UPS and never have issues. Heck their drivers just back into the loading dock, open their door, open the loading dock door and dump the packages out. They never even get out of their trucks.

I guess we'll see.

I've been getting a good mix of Lasership, UPS, and USPS from Amazon, rarely Fedex.

Lasership used to realllllly stink but lately they have been fine for me. UPS is reliable for me but they never show up til after 5pm which can be good and can be bad.

My Prime has never been late. FedEx/UPS for normal day deliver and USPS for Sunday delivery.

If you're just using a normal Amazon account, I'd call Amazon and try and get some kind of business account. It might cost more, but I'm sure there are guaranteed shipping methods, and avenues to actually get reimbursed for a day's worth of jobs missed due to shipping not being on time. Currently, you're just going to get shipping refunded, which is fine for home stuff, but for business, missing a day can cost thousands of dollars.

There is no business account for Amazon. I have an Amazon seller account but Amazon keeps that totally separate from a buying account.

We get a lot of stuff from a (local?) carrier called OnTrac. They deliver on weekends. It's amazing.

Yeah, we have local carriers as well, delivery performance has been fine. For that matter, the only one I have an issue with is the Postal Service. More often than not, they are the ones delaying a package. Delivery carrier choice seems to be based on the closest location between the item and the delivery address, then who can get it there.

I like Amazon Prime, pretty much for all the features. Video, Kindle Lending library and of course the subscribe and save.

Didn't know that. That sucks then.

I got prime more for the Video part so the shipping was a bonus.
If it was only for shipping I probably would also drop. I usually can find the same price sometimes better and they have to charge tax now.

What videos do you get from Prime that you can't get from Netflix (beside SpongeBob)? Anything I've seen on Prime that I'd want to see, I'd have to pay extra for.

hbo stuff?

Believe me, with the amount of business we do with them; we would have a business account if at all possible. We get packages from Amazon nearly every day. Most days its multiple packages. I had 3 this morning here, I have 2 more on the way and 2 going to my house.

Prime is a no-brainer for me. I actually have 2 Prime accounts going right now because my dumbass didn't realize there wasn't a difference between business and personal.

HBO stuff, stargate (my wife loves this), some kids shows, etc...

Use to be they had about 95% the same but they each have a little the other doe snot now.

Netflix has The Killing, HoC, and other programs they sponsor on the other end that amazon does not have.

I'm not sure what they use sometimes, but when I order stuff on a Friday night and get it Sunday afternoon, I'm pretty happy.
