A number of businesses, both large and small, have taken precautions to avoid action that could [...]
Some customers seemed to be understanding of the whole ordeal. Especially given the circumstances.
FYI, we are Amazon Prime members. Ordered a number of things over the weekend, and my shipment arrival dates keep changing. Now everything I was expecting today is delayed til Thursday. Just a heads up. Things are tough out there, even if you are not being told that.

It's just a two week delay on non essentials being stored and shipped from Amazon warehouses. I think we'll be alright.

prevnextGot a delayed email for my switch I ordered on amazon lmfao...I'm glad I'm just hearing about something. Lessening the stress for workers etc. I don't care about the delay like that. I just need to know if I got it. I personally don't mind waiting, just need to know if I secured.

I just wanted to post an update to keep people informed and make me feel a bit better. Due to amazon backup of everyone buying out everything, the new cable wont be received till Thursday. There better not be further delays 😒

Others saw some potential bright spots to the whole unfortunate development.
Imagine all the people that bought things online, but not through Amazon. That shit is delayed for sure because of this virus. We all about to have Christmas in July!

prevnextI think this was the right move for @amazon to take. The American People are being asked to accept shortages, inconveniences and delays for a few weeks; because of #TheVirus. Is that too much to ask? For those who, for financial or health issues, can't cope; yes, help them.

Given that the delay also had an impact on the release of Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Switch, others were a bit anxious about the inevitable shipment delays.
>shipments of non-essential items on websites like amazon getting delayed due to coronavirus
>nintendo eshop and servers are down
>non-essential businesses being closed down by law
The perfect storm is happening for us to not be able to play Animal Crossing. pic.twitter.com/0naRVw0ZDn

Others, meanwhile, weren't happy with the delays given the cost of being an Amazon Prime member.
Why isn't @amazon waiving prime members' fees? Especially since there are now 5 day delays. And why aren't ALL movies temporarily made free? #COVID2019

I like how @amazon #prime said something I ordered last week would arrive yesterday, then this morning it's changed to not even shipped and on delay..... it's not even a high demand item. 🙄🤦🏻♂️

prevnextAmazon is experiencing massive delivery delays as it probably is scrambling to fulfill an influx of orders, causing a logistical nightmare. A one-day Prime order will now take 4 days | coronavirus pic.twitter.com/ocB0MX3XEk
