Why is Amazon Prime delayed?
The Amazon Prime delivery delays are caused due to an increase in people ordering food and household items online.

Amazon faced a high increase in demand from customers after the coronavirus outbreak. Customers reported that Amazon Fresh grocery has products that are out of stock for a long period of time. The Amazon agents said that they were unable to make deliveries possible. The company has also allowed its workers to take a month's time off from work.
