My main gripe with Amazon right now: There should be a big red sign saying that a product ships all the way from from China. I only learn about that fact after I've paid for the order. It can take 5-6 weeks waiting for something to circumnavigate the globe to reach my house!

In every order I've ever placed there has been an estimated delivery date and, in my experience, they're accurate. How does your experience differ? Is the date missing? Does it change after checkout?

> there has been an estimated delivery date

I didn't even know there is an estimation. I just assume it will ship within 7 days. The vast bulk of my orders all arrived in 7 days (sometimes even shorter). But I got caught out with some orders where it shipped all the way from China, and I only learned about that after buying them (by visiting the 'track package' page).

I'm curious if you're seeing a different page than I am... perhaps you order on mobile a lot or something? It is very prominent:

Oh thanks for pointing that out. To be honest, I never pay attention to that. But I will give it plenty of attention from now on, because I'm very impatient and hate waiting 4-5 weeks for something!
