At least in some NY stores they’re limiting the number of people that can be in the store at once. If someone shops faster they can probably let in a new delivery person, perhaps.
My March 15th pantry order arrived today. 2 weeks, 2 days…who is counting?

Update: I’ve been facing “check back” for quite some time now, but miraculously got a delivery window Monday. Not sure if that means I’m lucky, or people are getting too freaked out here to even risk touching delivery.

So Instacart cancelled a delivery we had scheduled from Shoprite for between 8-10 last night for an order that was placed practically a week ago.
Greaaaaat. And I’m debating about whether or not to wait on a “Shop from home” order that I have with Shop Rite for 8-9 days. I’m supposed to pick it up on Monday morning. TBD
Just read, going fwd orders for whole foods online or amazon fresh are now invitation only, whatever that means

In have used Amazon Prime Now - that’s what’s available here - for a long time. I’ve used it twice since the stay at home orders. Yesterday I shopped and had a large cart, but no delivery times were available. I checked back several times this morning and around 9, multiple delivery times opened. We had our delivery, not one missing time, quicker than usual.

just tried this myself and got the “sign up and we’ll notify you when you can shop”.
Think they’re trying to regulate traffic to their site?
I think they’re trying to prevent the situation where people can’t get any delivery slots except for the people that wake up at 3 am, or just hit refresh for hours… Their system wasn’t set up for this volume of orders, and at least near me where they cut the number of people allowed in the store at one time by 90%, the available slots are already cut. I think they’re just trying to keep things manageable in the store until they can further ramp up and fix logistics.

Their software is fine. It is the man power they can’t keep up with. The software can take in lots of orders, manually packing them is what holds them back.

It’s not the best food delivery, but either not the worst. But, to be honest, I don’t like Amazon’s policy. They are really trying to make sure the order is delivered in time, but what’s the cost. Their working conditions (according to its workers) are exhausting as hell with ridiculous fines. And they still fail some of the deliveries. But it’s not just Amazon’s drawback. Most EMS services fail. I even need to use third-party services, such as tracking number epacket, just to get the exact status of my order. Can’t they build the system without inhuman conditions?
