In my area (midwest) Amazon (Prime) delivery is out to about 4 days. But it does seem to depend on the item. I ordered a tennis racquet "Prime" yesterday that was in stock and the quoted delivery isn't until Friday / Saturday.

Prime Now is now unavailable entirely. At checkout, it simply says "No delivery times available" for all stores.

Amazon Fresh also gives no available delivery windows.

Northeast, also looking at 4 days out for prime deliveries depending on the item. Anything not in their regional hub is 4 days, things stocked regionally are still two days for new. I expect this to change soon.

Colorado, I ordered some grilling stuff yesterday and it's another three days out.

They're definitely struggling for the same reason grocery stores are; it's not a stock limitation, it's not enough hands to move it.

According to a news article from yesterday, Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods delivery have been stopped.

I tried to find the source but it looks like it was more speculation in a Reddit post. Sorry for the wrong info. Perhaps Amazon is just being overloaded.

There was an article in Reuters or WSJ or something similar about this. It was a computer glitch, and temporary.

If amazon, a master of logistics, is struggling, imagine some of these other e-tailers and online shops.

Got an email from a company i do work with, and they’re calling for 21 day delays for shipping items, and suspending new orders. Just because they literally cannot package and ship fast enough.
