Amazon Shipping

over time I find myself ordering more and more items from Amazon .... their logistics system guaranteeing quick delivery on a specific date have proven to be very accurate .... for the last few weeks I've notices that the promised delivery dates given when the order is placed are now weeks away .... Amazon has released a statement at this link ===> https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer ... oppingCart :
"As COVID-19 has spread, we have seen an increase in people shopping online. To serve our customers while also helping to ensure the safety of our associates, we have changed our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and third-party seller processes to prioritize stocking and delivering items that are a higher priority for our customers. This has resulted in some of our delivery promises being longer than usual. We're also hiring over 100,000 positions across the U.S. to enable us to provide this vital service to people everywhere, especially to those, like the elderly, who are most vulnerable."
just as a heads-up .... in actual practice, I've found that items we've ordered actually arrive much earlier than quoted when the order was placed ....
