I just ordered gin via Amazon's 1 hour delivery and don't know whether to be ashamed of myself or amazed at the option

I didnt know this was a thing! Off to look 👀👀

BinkySodPlop · 17/01/2020 19:56

I've had same day delivery on some very mundane things, but booze has always been next day. May have to scuttle (stagger) off to look at rum. 👍

I have 2hr delivery from whole foods via amazon. Pity I can’t afford to shop there Grin. Plus only wine. Can’t buy spirits at the supermarket in Texas, grrrr

I just typed ‘gin’ in the amazon search and it said ‘did you mean gun

Ha!

HerRoyalNotness · 17/01/2020 20:00

We have to go to the bottle shop Spec’s, not open on a Sunday. Double grrrr.

CMOTDibbler · 17/01/2020 20:01

I can't even order from Just Eat Sad

PenguinsOnParade · 17/01/2020 20:04

Nothing like that here but we also still don't have Uber, UberEats or Deliveroo.

The local shop does deliver but they only put their most expensive drinks on the app and it's literally a minute's walk from my house anyway. Grin

Living in Darkest Peru aka NE Scotland, we get nothing! No same day delivery, sometimes next day arrives on time, no just eat, in fact no takeaway delivery at all where I stay. You'd think i lived in the back of beyond, but i live 15 mins away from a fair sized city. Which couriers like to think is actually in the highlands (it's not!!) and either refuse to deliver or charge a kings ransom. I'd love, just once, to have a Chinese delivered to my door!

I love Prine Now, I use it regularly when I cant be arsed to walk approx 3 mins to sainsbury's! I just stock up on basics like loo roll and toothpaste to get free delivery, or heavy things like flour to save me lifting them in and out the car, it's awesome!

Wait, you can buy firearms on Amazon in the US? Shock

helpfulperson · 17/01/2020 20:12

I wouldn't dare start using this. It's like when our chocolate vending machine at work started taking contactless. I dont have the self control.

2020nymph · 17/01/2020 20:21

DH has just informed me he helpfully put the meat for tonight's dinner in the freezer. I may have to investigate this!! Alternative dinner will be chocolate and Prosecco looking at the contents of my fridge!

bobstersmum · 17/01/2020 20:28

Mind. Blown. Enjoy your gin!

NicelyStarched · 17/01/2020 20:30

@HerRoyalNotness

I'm not sure where in Texas you live but if you're in the vicinity of a Total Wine store, you can get spirits delivered with a two-hour delivery window!

GlitteryGracie · 17/01/2020 20:35

Oh dear God I've now checked and they deliver all sorts to my area too..... it's downhill from here then!!

willothewispa · 17/01/2020 20:49

Jealous ! We have no takeaways, no same day delivery and no Uber. Now I want gin and crisps but it's an hour to the nearest supermarket.

VivaLeBeaver · 17/01/2020 20:54

How do you know if you’re in a 2 delivery zone? Is it just on certain items? I’ve never seen it as a delivery option.

Oblomov20 · 17/01/2020 20:55

OP's has arrived? How cool!

Bobismyfriend · 17/01/2020 20:56

Bloody hell Harry! What a time to be alive

Confused202020 · 17/01/2020 20:59

VivaLeBeaver it's "Amazon Prime Now" that deliver within an hour or 2 rather than the usual amazon service, Google " Amazon Prime Now" and check if its available in your area.

Ninjakittysmellz · 17/01/2020 21:05

I once did this and the Amazon man was at my door within 15 mins with the gin (and Jaffa cakes)

I resisted kissing him, but it was tough!

Daisychainsandglitter · 17/01/2020 21:18

Wow my life will never be the same again!
Hope you're enjoying your gin OP!
