But not same-day. But even that's a bit iffy - I made a purchase from Amazon recently where they promised same-day delivery, on a Sunday no less! But it didn't actually arrive until Wednesday.

You’re saying that you still use Amazon because it offers a superior delivery service?

Then aren’t you glad that option exists when you need it?

  • I didn't need it that same day - if I had, I would have driven 5 miles to the nearest retailer that carried it and Amazon wouldn't have even been considered.

    I was seriously impressed that they made that promise, thought I had nothing to lose. And I re-learned a lesson, if something's too good to be true then it probably isn't. I certainly won't be putting any faith in same-day service in the future. They proved their "superior delivery service" is just an illusion.
