I've effectively stopped shopping on Amazon. Almost everything is available by another, smaller website that has way faster shipping since Prime Shipping is a complete farce now.

Even the weird niche stuff can be found somewhere like Walmart. AliExpress, too. Which, at the rate Amazon is going, will soon have faster ship times too.

Ordering from Walmart has always been a good experience for me. Especially when I can do in store pickup to keep my meth head neighbors from plundering my porch. However, the one item I did try to order from AliExpress never arrived, so that left a bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah, maybe like 4 centuries from now. 2 day shipping is still way better than "maybe 2 months or something" from aliexpress

The last time Amazon Prime Shipping actually took 2 days for me was pre-COVID. Now, it says 7 days but last time I ordered, it took 9 days.

Last time I bought from AliExpress, it took... 9 days. It just depends on where you're shipping from and the available shipping options. They're advertising free 12-day shipping and I've had multiple instances of items arriving early.
