Even though I have had some issues with Amazon’s deliveries, having fast shipping does make online shopping more convenient. I recently had some items delivered overnight, and it was crazy convenient. However, even with something as great as fast shipping, there is a thing as being too fast.
I just placed two Amazon orders. The first was with Amazon Fresh for some groceries. When I initially placed the order, the only delivery time available was from 10:00 pm to midnight. Midnight!? Anyway, I forgot to order some milk so the second time I checked out, 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm was available. It is now 8:17 pm and I am waiting for my milk (and other stuff). I am still surprised that they will deliver as late as midnight.
I also placed an order for some protein shakes, the breakfast of champions. For that order, they can deliver overnight, or one-day shipping by end-of-day tomorrow. Since I am going to work, I selected overnight in case they get it to me super early. The protein shakes do not need to be refrigerated, but I am hesitant to leave them outside all day in 90+ degree weather. Right afterwards, I got a notification of a prescription delivery. This is for a large order of insulin, which was supposed to arrive Wednesday, when I am working from home. The insulin absolutely cannot sit outside all day, so now I am going to wait for all incoming shipments to arrive before heading into the office.
Crazy. It is about 8:30 pm and I am going to get four deliveries within the next 12-14 hours (Amazon order is coming in two overnight deliveries). I hope Amazon gets their Rivian EV vans soon.

Just got an app notification that my Amazon Fresh order is three stops away. Here is part of the Amazon Prime order:
Last time the order arrived at around 6:30 am. I hope the last order is delivered before 11:00 am. Even at noon it take almost an hour to get to work.
