I order about $10k in Amazon Prime stuff a year for work. Most of it comes in 1 day, even on Sundays. Of course it helps that my office is right down the street from a warehouse in one direction, and an Amazon datacenter in the other.
Enjoy your X5000, hope everyone who ordered one gets theirs soon! :banana:
I live close to two Amazon distribution centers myself.
That company has a really cool relationship with the Postal Service.
And they picked the right shipper to team with, Fed Ex and UPS keep handing my shipments off to the USPS (and FedEX and UPS shipments take longer to get to me unless they are overnighted).
Frankly, I wish that companies I purchase from wouldn't use FedEx or UPS truck shipping options, because Priority Mail is faster (and often cheaper).
So much for the incredibly DUMB idea of privatizing our Postal delivery.
For that matter, since Delaware is close to New Jersey's Newegg.com warehouse, I get quick deliveries on most items ordered from them as well.
The only real excuse to use UPS is for heavy shipments (like desktop computers). There they DO offer a pricing advantage.
