I bought a car stereo last Friday with Prime. It said next day delivery by 11am. At 11am I check and it says it'll be here this coming Friday.... I cancelled it because crap like this keeps happening. (about 75% of my orders) I live within two miles of a giant distribution center. I looked at other places for the same radio and Walmart had it (not a fan of them either but same price, same day shipping for free) so I ordered it. It was at my door four hours later.

I'm done with Amazon.
