Amazon “No Rush” delivery — how reliable are the dates?

I ordered a large item on Amazon for my son’s birthday, and I’m now second-guessing my shipping choice. The only two options at checkout were delivery on Christmas Eve (when he’ll be here) or delivery on Dec. 30 (he will be away at his cousin’s) using “No Rush” shipping, but the 30th is the day before his birthday.
I chose No Rush, figuring Amazon wouldn’t give a date they couldn’t meet, but now I’m worried it could be delayed past that. For those who’ve used No Rush delivery, how accurate have the delivery dates been for you? Do they usually arrive on the stated date? |

| Generally I've found their dates to be pretty reliable, but less so this time of year because of the volume. |

| One that said would be delivered by Dec 24th arrived on Dec 18 or 19 |

| Everything I ordered with no-rush recently has arrived ahead of schedule, but it obviously depends on the specific item too. |

This. It's been super reliable for me - but I definitely wouldn't count on it during the holidays! |

| I've also found that the times I need something by a specific date, that's inevitably the item that gets delayed! |

| I've found Amazon to be generally unreliable. The dates, right after I order something, often change without any notice. They suck. |

| Is it supplied by Amazon or coming from some vendor? |

It’s coming from Amazon |

| When I've done no rush delivery, it's generally arrived either exactly when they said it would when I ordered, or 1-2 days early. As long as it came directly from Amazon. I can't remember anything coming late. |

For me, yes.
Pretty much. 👍🏽 |
