My card was never charged and never received any kind of shipping notice. I just cancelled the order and was excepted. If it shows up now i guess it will be free. I ordered same exact item on Ebay (probaly the same seller)and already received the shipping notice. Looks like Friday delivery date.

I ordered another guitar part two days ago and it arrived today. I guess the Volcano post office is on it!

I guess my order must of fell off the desk into the waste basket. lol I figure a day or two delay but not a week. Seller or Amazon couldn't give me an explanation on why it hasn't been shipped. No problem, option two has it coming by Friday. I ordered a tail bag for the X22R to put a few things in for my commute to work and back. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Motorcycle-...72.m2749.l2649

Well I hope things aren't too delayed with Amazon. Friday I'm ordering a SYX Moto Holeshot 50cc dirtbike for Jay's 6yr old boy Cash. And Jay's already ordered him the helmet, gloves, armor and boots ( which were almost as much as the bike). But the good news is we haven't told Cash about it so he won't be disappointed if it doesn't show up on time. Can't say the same for us adults..

my orders which are mostly for my Tao TBR7.... like a spark plug, anti seize, thread locker chain, etc have delivery dates of like 2-4 weeks...most or all were prime...

That's a cool looking little bike.

I've been finding the same items on Ebay and getting them much quicker. You will find some of the NON-Prime items on Amazon have a normal 3-5 days delivery.

This ^^^ is why I never joined Prime. I usually get free shipping on orders over 25.00 anyway, and I'm normally not in a hurry. I'd say at least 70% of the time, the order shows up far sooner than the shipping estimate.
Prime has its advantages for sure, especially if you have kids at home or watch a ton of movies, but that's not our case.

Latest update. The 50cc dirtbike I ordered for Jay's boy Cash Friday morning hasn't been shipped and estimated delivery is 15 days rather than the usual 5 days from California. His gear, which was ordered a couple of days sooner is supposed to arrive tomorrow. They have added a banner to the top of their page saying essential items will get delivery priority.

I for one love Prime. For $12 a month I get free shipping on most items (a delivery truck stops here 10 to 15 days a month so it's a big savings for me), and I get TV, movies and music. That's a really good deal considering I pay more than that just for Netflix.

And I understand that they are just trying to cope with the increased home delivery demand so they will continue to get my business.

Wow! That's not good to hear.

I ordered handle bar risers over a week ago from Amazon. Never got a shipping notice, nothing. So Thursday April 2nd i found the same ones on Ebay but i could only find the size i needed from China and estimated 2 weeks delivery. It would still be quicker than the 4 weeks Amazon is giving. Anyway i cancelled the Amazon order. I was looking at tracking this morning from the ebay order and it has already passed through customs on the 4th and is on it way to destination. All i can say is Wow. How can that be?

[OneLeggedRider]

Wow, didn't have any trouble with the boys riding gear getting here and the bike should be here Thursday around noon and it requires a signature. The interesting thing is the seller is in California but it shipped from Dallas Texas, so it's probably from TXpowersports.

And at 6 days that's only one day slower than the normal shipping time.

Anything that is not shipped from Amazon's warehouses and coming directly from the seller will have close to normal shipping time. It's the stuff that's shipped form Amazon is the issue.

I imagine as big as amazon is they are shipping a lot of staple supplies and things directly in demand because of covid.
