If this is the case, this is technically your fault and you might not be eligible for additional benefits.

On the other hand, if your package gets delayed for reasons that are out of your control, which includes severe weather, transit issues, or staffing shortages – it’s possible Amazon might reward you.

Gift cards

One of those rewards might be a gift card or an Amazon credit.

Randi Owsley, owner of money savings site Amazing Stealz broke down in a recent video-clip about how to go about getting credit if your shipping or arrival date gets delayed.

What you’ll need to do is enter a chat with an Amazon representative through its customer service tab.

Once you connect, the next step is key: you’ll want to use say that my “guarantee delivery time has been missed by several days,” according to amazingstealzdealz.

As a result, she wound up getting a $10 promotional credit as an apology for the delay.

“Sometimes they give $5, sometimes they give you $10, or $20 depending on the amount of products and the amount of time it's been delayed," the Tiktoker said.

On a personal note, I could relate to this.

I ordered a pot set that was delayed about a week recently.

I complained and asked them to expedite the shipping so I could receive my package overnight – but the representative claimed to not have control over shipping speed.

Then I asked, well is there “anything else you can do?”

I wound up only getting a $5 promotional code, which was automatically applied to my account.

If only I had been following amazingstealzdealz sooner – perhaps I would have been able to double my Amazon credits.

Free month of Amazon Prime

It could also be becauseI am not an Amazon Prime member, as amazingstealzdealz noted that the process would work better if that was the case.

Speaking of Amazon Prime, there’s a chance you might be able to get a free month of it, as money lawyer Erika Kullberg claimed in a recent Tiktok video of her own.

Through Amazon Prime, you get benefits including access to its video-streaming service and free two-day shipping.

After a recent price hike, Amazon Prime now costs $14.99 each month, or $139 per year.   

Refund

Another perk you might get is a discount or a refund on your product.  

Mrs Kullberg noted that Amazon might also offer “a full or partial refund of the product”.

She added that shipping fees will be refunded as well.

Regardless of whether you qualify or not, you should note these options to your Amazon customer service representative next time.

I know I will.
