Ask HN: Has anyone noticed Amazon Prime become much slower?

1 pointkediz5 comments

I loved in Atlanta and I noticed the prime guarantee delivery for most of prime purchase is now 4 days. Anyone knows why it might be the case?

Some sort of virus or something I think.

Amazon warned it’s experiencing Prime delivery days and running out of stock of popular household items amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Also here's a related blog post by Amazon https://blog.aboutamazon.com/company-news/amazons-actions-to...

I would also imagine that contract or by-the-box delivery drivers are staying away in times like these. They've established a fund for drivers impacted by this all, but that labor segment is hustle-and-split.

Amazon is up 289% YoY right now, give them some slack.

By what yardstick?
