And Ebay is still trying to play catch up from last year.
I’m not sure how Amazon hopes to achieve this. My last Prime order ended up not coming on the weekend but on Monday. Today I checked an order from eCrater. In less that two days it got from my home to Louisville, KY. However, unless I am really forgetting my geography and the size of the state, it isn’t slated to by delivered until some time Friday. Normally it would be delivered on Thursday. My carrier when she did her pick-up and delivery looked absolutely exhausted and swamped already.
