LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — If you are an Amazon Prime member, you may recall a few years ago when almost everything was one or two day shipping.

Not anymore, a change this month by UPS could slow down deliveries even more.

UPS recently announced it is cutting back its Amazon deliveries by 50% to help its bottom line. Many Amazon Prime members were already complaining about slower delivery times, and this will only make it worse.

Amazon will now have to rely more on Amazon Flex drivers, which are contract drivers who often handle deliveries in their unmarked personal cars.

If you order is delayed, the easiest way to contact Amazon is through webchat, not calling. A chat agent may even rush it out from another seller, so you’ll get it sooner.

Also, look for items that say “get it tomorrow,” for the best shipping options.
