Would you buy something on Amazon prime today?

DD has an inexpensive last minute request and Amazon guarantee it for tomorrow. Is it too risky or will it definitely arrive if they guarantee it??

Do it!!

mintich · 23/12/2022 11:36

I think it will arrive. Amazon are the only company I haven't had trouble with this year!

canyouextrapol · 23/12/2022 11:36

I'd give it a go. You can always send it back if it's too late

Floralnomad · 23/12/2022 11:38

I’d do it

SmartWatch · 23/12/2022 11:38

I use Amazon a lot and ime their predicted delivery days are incredibly accurate. I'd order something today if it said it would be delivered tommorow. Things often come same day to me.

Had this same thought this morning but I've opted for click and collect from Argos.

WaddleAway · 23/12/2022 11:40

Yeah I would and have!

QueenLagertha · 23/12/2022 11:40

Do it

doodleygirl · 23/12/2022 11:40

I ordered yesterday afternoon, received delivery today. Amazon use their own couriers

tiredfriday · 23/12/2022 11:41

Yes

SquigglePigs · 23/12/2022 11:42

I've done it. Realised I needed something for a Dec 27th birthday so I've taken a punt. Good luck!

Cantonet · 23/12/2022 11:44

Yes I would.

RedAndBlueStripedGolfingUmbrella · 23/12/2022 12:29

No as I ordered something as a present last week and still hasn't arrived.

Figgygal · 23/12/2022 12:30

I ordered a nerf gun yesterday afternoon it was here by 9 this morning
So I would

Was the present on Prime? If not it's a third party seller and if they use royal mail it will have been delayed by the trikes and backlog at the Royal Mail.

I always use the 'prime only' checkbox now as their deliveries are very reliable as they use their own drivers and vans, and have a much more sophisticated IT system than the Royal Mail, and of course aren't affected by strike action.

whereaw · 23/12/2022 12:38

Amazon is the only reliable retailer out there.

whereaw · 23/12/2022 12:38

Provided you're buying from Amazon that is! Not a third party seller

SoupDragon · 23/12/2022 12:39

I would Double and triple check the day it says it will deliver on but yes, I woUld use Prime. They've been very reliable at Christmas for me.

Always double check with the "prime" check box though as sometimes it shows items that offer free delivery for Prime members but from a third part seller.

Turtledoveholly · 23/12/2022 12:42

I would - many things are showing as not available for next day delivery for me so it looks like they’re being honest about what they can achieve 🤞

BaublesandBangles · 23/12/2022 12:45

I would chance it. Everything I've ordered from Amazon on prime has been delivered the next day.

Season0fTheWitch · 23/12/2022 12:56

I ordered a last minute bottle of whiskey for DH yesterday afternoon and it's due to arrive any minute. Worst that will happen is yours will arrive on christmas day, it'll still be there though

I doubt they are delivering on Christmas Day.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 23/12/2022 13:08

Yes I would
I've had absolutely no problems with Amazon this year

thapob · 23/12/2022 13:10

I order a lot of Amazon! Everything has arrived on time
