Must admit the delivery side of things does seem a bit hit and miss, so far nowt has arrived next day, unless the drivers are not leaving any cards. It is usually within 2-3 days.
It means I'm buying small things like dummies for the boy from amazon rather than having to remember to buy next time we are near a mothercare or boots. Useful but not sure worth the extra!
Found I can download the prime content so going to try that rather than streaming which isn't reliable enough for me whilst turboing (on the iPad using browser or app)
struggling to think of anything that has not come next day for me, and I have bought a lot from them...
What hacks me off is the restrictions on buying stuff from Amazon.com - I bought my first book from them in, I think, 1994 or 1995 when they had just started and had no real presence - I only found them because I was searching for a particular book. I should be in some sort of VIP customer category I reckon.

It used to be very reliable for me. Has totally gone to shit recently. Dunno if it's a new courier they are using or what.
I think all the local couriers know how to get to our house easily due to the amount of clothing orders my wife makes from various places, so maybe that is why I haven't had any issues.
I went with Prime for delivery originally because things towards Christmas would take a few days longer with the free options and I'm always a last minute bloke with Christmas shopping 😀 . Prime, order in the evening and it's there next day (for 'Prime' products that is, but those are the ones I go for anyway in that I know it's from Amazon or properly fulfilled by them not some pikey selling on Amazon).
Couriers seem to vary. Mostly I find my stuff is delivered by some scruffy guy in a car.
Thread bump, given a Fire hd8 at Christmas and quite like it to browse on. Took up the Prime free trial and after loading some music started looking for bike movies. According to this:

there should be plenty in there but I can't find any of them. What am I doing wrong ?
Prime has some great series - Halt and Catch Fire is a particular corker, even though it never gets a mention. The film selection is abysmal though, some right turkeys. The fact you can download to watch offline is very useful though, its about the only thing that lets down Netflix, which has a better overall spread, and if you like Marvel series it is of course the only place to go. For the £7 a month or so that they cost, theyre both worth the dough. Im seriously considering binning Sky and just watching them instead.

Don't think you are doing anything wrong, can't find them either - might be a US only thing
Any of you with Amazon Prime - watch "Flesh and Bone"
Gritty 8 part mini-series about a ballet company in New York - and all the Drugs/Sex/Russian mobsters/etc that are associated with it..
Thanks notbob. Bit of a let-down mind.
