It is about Amazon
I have brought laptop on 1/10/16, the mentioned dispatch 6/10/16.  Because the manufactures and supplier, the Amazon warehouse and me are same place with in fifteen kilometers range, I have not paid for premium dispatch, assuming that  local delivery may not take more than 3 days. Supplier is ready with stocks responded positively for immediate dispatch. Amazon took 6 days to dispatch. But I did not received any communication and not delivered up to 8/10/16.

when I called Amazon it was revealed to me that delivery is rescheduled to 13/10/16. Last year I have purchased AC in Grate Indian sale it was happy shopping. This year Grate Indian sale experiencing miserable dispatch. For a local delivery is like this what happens to the rural areas tie-up with Irresponsible India Post.

with this experience I would like to tell every one for amazon standard delivery is at their mercy.They can post pone delivery to a week even though stock in hand. First they deliver prime and premium delivery services.If they have time for rest then only deliver to standard  delivery. Off-course that is their policy, we can not do any thing about it.

So  Fellow customers of Amazon pay for prime or  one/two day delivery by looking  delivery charges including in the item cost.  Or suffer waiting for two week delivery….? what is about other Dimers experience in standard delivery?

I’m an Amazon prime customer and my orders are delayed too. I had ordered a Puma bag 7 days back and it hasn’t even reached my city yet. Most of my orders used to get delivered in 1-2 days earlier. I don’t think they are delaying the orders deliberately.I believe the delay is due to overwhelming response Amazon received during last sale.

Does Amazon compensate for hr delays to prime members (paid members)??

I was thinking of taking prime membership to avoid paying 80/100 for immediate delivery.. but if they don’t respect the commitment, .I am not keen on paying 499 upfront..

I think … its not about. . What you explained… as I just took prime yesterday but it doesn’t effect my delivery at all… maybe amazon is too overloaded or they are trying to delay in dispatch as couier are overloaded and there is more chance that product will get damage in transit … so maybe they are holding for a week to clear the rush

As many have mentioned already that it was due to overwhelming response.
One of my friend ordered laptop and phone by paying 100 extra each for 1 day delivery but it was delivered in 4 days. https://cdn0.desidime.com/smileys/knuppel.gif

Nothing is guaranteed here. Amazon Prime is yet another Flipkart First in the making.
