Amazon has massive network of 3rd Party Sellers who ship items directly from their own warehouses, not relying on Amazon’s currently-hobbled fulfillment centers
You can find these by selecting “other sellers” on the Amazon product page.
This has been the way to get stuff quickly on Amazon for the last 3 weeks.
Then on Friday, with no warning or explanation, Amazon extended all shipping times quoted out to April 20th, including the shipping times provided by 3rd party sellers.
This extension has no basis in reality, as 3rd party sellers have not experienced any shipping delays because they don’t use Amazon’s warehouses.
This was a hugely anti-competitive move by Amazon that has severely impacted 3rd party sellers and directly misleads consumers.
Numerous 3rd party sellers have reported this situation to the DOJ.
