Amazon Fresh is ending automatic delivery. Nooooo! Amazon won't say why.

This is concerning for me. I've used Automatic delivery for years now. I don't understand why they would end such a nice feature.

The work of ordering won't change that much since my automatic delivery has been converted to a list that I can easily order from with one click.

What concerns me is the guaranteed delivery spot. In the past there were times I couldn't get overnight delivery unless I ordered two days in advance. Automatic delivery solved that. With Automatic Delivery, I knew my groceries would arrive every Sunday morning, even if the next day was a holiday and I was too busy to check my order on Saturday.

Amazon has been investing in their delivery service. Maybe they now have enough capacity to guarantee overnight delivery We'll see.
