Observation on this with Amazon (Score 1)

And, what is with Amazon? Normal shipping used to be 5-8 business days. This morning, an order was greeted with 17-28 day shipping, while at the same time, expected date of shipping was added, and indicated to be Nov 1 or Nov 2. The order was available with free shipping which I chose. The target receipt data is Nov 17 out through Dec 14. All this on top of using unrecognizable delivery vehicles & drivers (Prestige Shipping with drivers in shorts & multi-colored shrts using personal cars for delivery and no tracking information). They built a reputation on recognized & reliable shipping and now throw it away. My latest shipment has spent the last 5 days alone in Kansas City, for no good reason. I think it is all about greed.
