      Amazon is actually phasing out 2 day delivery because of too high order volume I am delivery driver for them.

        Interesting inside scoop, thank you. I look forward to them reducing the prime annual fee accordingly! ;-)

        What? Last I heard the goal was to move all Prime deliveries to 1 day.

        Without 2 day deliveries, I’m not sure I care about Prime at all. At some point it’s either easier to go to the store, or worth simply waiting longer.

          Yeah was supposed to be but the have way too much volume for that to be possible with a 90% turn over rate with drivers because are routes are insane.

            Yeah. I have heard about those memos where they are worried they will exhaust the available people who are willing to do the jobs. I think the one I saw was about the warehouse workers.

            It sounds like if they want to protect the future of the company they need to treat the workers better, and stop treating them as expendable and replaceable.
