    Wait, is the two-day shipping taking forever happening for everyone? I thought it was just because I moved to Alaska. It takes 2-4 weeks (and doesn’t show up about 10-20% of the time) for anything, but Walmart and Target stuff gets here in less than a week.

      I used to get it in 2 days here in South Dakota, but around 2020 or 21 it started taking progressively longer, until it was actually slower than normal shipping times.

      3 main reason I cancelled Amazon:

      1. Counterfeits. Can get the items direct for same price & shipping now anyways.
      2. Shipping so unreliable.
      3. My “new” items were quite often repackaged returns, usually missing parts.
