My friends and coworkers are geographically diverse as well. My original comment still stands.
Even my friend who lives in rural nowhere is one of those people who in the past has raved to me about how they order everything from Amazon because it’s even faster than going to the store. Parts of my family live about 3 hours from the closest big city and they still love Amazon as well.
There’s definitely got to be a geographic proximity factor to it and I’m definitely not saying your anecdote is invalid, but I find it very interesting that I’ve literally _never_ heard anyone in real life complain about Amazon shipping times, while I see it frequently on HN, to the point where if you only read HN you might think it was the majority viewpoint.
