Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for August 11, 2023

Instant gratification is worth waiting for.

Amazon is getting well known for slipping delivery dates

Yesterday I got a message saying my package will be delivered between 11:25 and 14:49. It arrived at about 18:00.

Haven’t we all yelled at our microwave ovens for being too slow?

I once ordered something at4 o’clock in the afternoon. They asked if I wanted it there by 8:00. It got there at 7:45. That’s just nuts. I remember when 6-8 weeks was the standard.

Remember when a selling point of Amazon Prime was 2 day delivery? Haha Haven’t seen that for over 3 years.

Ordered and checked the Wed tab [fewer trips, etc]. Amazon says ok. Next day message says delivery Tuesday. OK. 2nd message says Mon. OK Sun email says order delivered Sat. Don’t you ever look out your front door?

I’ve done mail order since before Amazon was dream in Bezo’s eye. Never worry about when stuff was/is going to show up. That way lies madness!!

Never fear, Bezo’s beating the slaves harder and harder.

If it was sent by Canada Post, you may see it in several weeks..if you are lucky.

Minimum 24 hours, usually.

Same theme as today’s “Mr. Boffo” cartoon.

ASK ALEXA!

Pay extra for same-afternoon delivery.
