A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In this hypothetical, many people will view Amazon as unreliable for future purchases after their deliveries didn't show up in time.

For non-subscribers, Amazon shows a "3-5 day delivery" margin, with a warning that it "may not get delivered by Christmas"... and right next to it, the "1 day delivery" option if you subscribe.

They still under-promise and over-deliver anyway; right now I was expecting an order to arrive next Tuesday, but just got it on a Sunday afternoon.

I don't think you're following the hypothetical being presented.
