We live in a rural area here in Central Oregon. People call it rural, I call is peaceful. When Amazon started offering one day shipping, I knew we wouldn't get that benefit, but we do! I ordered two replacement drill bits for my husband countersink set and they were here the next day, I was amazed.

Default Amazon Prime

I purchase almost all my fabrics via amazon anymore or any store that will give me reasonable shipping and can deliver in one day. I am spoiled in that way.
Can you share how you get it for half price now?
Thx

via google: The Amazon Prime membership fee is $119 per year or $12.99 per month. However, college students can get Prime Student at the discounted price of $59 per year (or $6.49 per month). That's about half the cost of a standard Prime plan. Apr 8, 2019

that's funny, sounds like my husband, he told me UPS called and said they had to lay off 2 employees because they noticed there was a significant decline in the number of packages delivered over the past 6 months - LOL; well they did have to add employees at my new location in Texas! I do hate that when I am in CT I can get stuff in 2 days or less, but where I moved in Texas it is usually 3 days; they do need to pick up the speed!

I had to order a text book for an online class last year. It was produced by the organization offering the course and not otherwise available. It took 2 weeks to arrive. And when it did they sent volume 1 from a different course and volume 2 for the one I was taking. Could not get it through to their customer service what they had done and I ticked off, as I had an exam coming up on the material in volume 1.

Finally they sent the correct book, it took 5 business days the second time around.

I ordered some beautiful Kaffe fabrics from a BC shop that does not have a mail order website. Ordered on Monday, delivered on Wednesday. I now she did not get it to the post office until either late Monday night or early Tuesday.
