[QUOTE="hark, post: 251319, member: 13196"] I am also an Amazon Prime customer, and when they used Lasership, quite frequently my orders were late. Since Amazon offers a 'guarantee' of getting the prime orders delivered by a specified date, many people complained when the items failed to appear on time. Now Amazon is using the FedEx Smart Ship option more frequently which involves the USPS. I see this [I]anticipatory shipping[/I] as a way of helping maintain guaranteed deliveries--but I do wonder if it will come at a cost of raising the Prime membership. Last fall there was a discussion that Prime was going to be raised from $79 annually to $99 annually when it came time to renew leaving me wonder if that's where they are headed. [/QUOTE]
