7 day?? I get my orders almost always next day at the pickup machine. Even when it says it'll be there in a few days it's usually early.

In Barcelona fwiw

Ditto in Portland, except delivered to my door. It's interesting when these threads come up reading all these complaints, I buy stuff from Amazon on average a couple times per week and never have problems with counterfeits, used goods, not shipping speeds.
12 hours later... I meant "nor shipping speeds". Too late to edit.
Here in Tokyo, it's almost always 2 days for me, and I don't have Prime membership. Sometimes it's even next-day.

It seems like it's only the Americans complaining about shipping speeds: probably a byproduct of the transportation network there being so bad and everything being so spread out. Their other problem is likely bad labor relations and a labor shortage.

Increasingly same day delivery in London.
same here, 1 or 2 on almost all prime orders. Of course I live pretty close to a shipping center, but I figure most americans did at this point.
