what are the odds that I can get a shirt I really want by Sat, when the only estimated delivery date with my Prime accounts says by Monday?
I really really like this shirt but I would need it by Sat - not Monday.
Should i even bother trying and opt for the 2 day shipping or forget it?
TIA!!

Can you do the prime 1 day shipping for the extra few dollars? That might get it there by Saturday unless it says something about extra processing time.

when I signed on to my Prime account the only shipping option is the 2 day...I don't see the 1 day. Though the details say 1 day is available. I don't see it as an option when I check out though

There should be a "change shipping option" section on the initial checkout screen.

This. If they don't give you the option, I wouldn't chance it. Amazon Prime seems to be pretty on point with their delivery estimates.

I would think low since today is Thursday and under regular circumstances, a Prime order would be there on Saturday if you ordered today. I have found them to be accurate in their estimates as well.

Re: Amazon Prime Purchase
Normally when I do Prime it's 2 days- so if you ordered today shouldn't' it be delivered by Saturday?
I ordered on a Friday last week and it came on Sunday

so do you think I have a chance of getting it on Sat or not? Trying to see if I should try.

Re: Amazon Prime Purchase
Prime has been pretty accurate with the delivery dates. Part of it is based on location; when I place an order and ship it to Manhattan, it shows the delivery date a day sooner than if I ship it to my house on LI.
I would say if you have no other options, may as well order it. its free returns so you have nothing to lose if it doesnt come early. but if you can pick it up elsewhere at a local retailer, you may want to go that route

chances are low, I placed on order this Tuesday for something I wanted on Saturday, the initial delivery estimate showed Friday, and when I checked the status 20 hours later, the status was still showing as 'Not Yet Shipped' and the delivery estimate was changed to Monday. I ended up cancelling the order.

Was it Prime though?
Because Prime is guaranteed 2 day delivery I thought

Yes, Prime - that's what it showed with the guaranteed delivery.

Not everything seems to be 2 days anymore. I wanted to order something with Prime on Tuesday - estimated Monday delivery and if I did one day it would have come Friday. Then last week I ordered something on Wed supposed to get Friday never came until Monday with Prime!

I think it has to do with the vendors. Sometimes it's guaranteed two-day delivery, but there's a day or two processing time by the vendor. It sucks, I try to always go by the estimated delivery date. So far they've always been right.
