- Today, things that ship way faster than Amazon,
from this list of stores.
(bouncy music)
Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite,
honored to be back with you guys,
if you've never seen me before,
hi from mattsdailydeals.com.
I hunt down deals, I advicate for consumers
and although this is a topic
I wish I didn't have to tackle right now
from toiletries to hand sanitization products,
diapers, pet food, even electronics.
With everything going on at Amazon right now,
from possible warehouse strikes
to their prioritization of different products
which means shipping delays of up to two months,
I'm going to show you how to navigate through that madness.
Now for those of you that don't know this,
I host programming for Amazon in New York City
during the year when I actually have a job.
I am not speaking on behalf of the company
with the information I am about to show
although I am excited to share this with you
because it is timely.
Now on mattsdailydeals.com you're gonna find
lists of essentials and how to get them
and everything that I show is in stock,
I test the merchants that's why I'm here for you.
But let's start with the most crucial product right now
and that is what?
Cleaning products right?
Hand sanitizer, toilet paper, soap.
Let's take mops for example.
If you were to search on amazon.com,
you're looking at delivery dates of at least
Monday, April 20th
and I am recording this video on Monday, March 30th.
Let's take a look at the Vileda as an example,
which is also called the O-Cedar
depending on which Amazon store you're shopping from,
$32.99, arriving Monday April 27th.
Home Depot is not only restocking their cleaning supplies
at a little bit of a faster pace,
but I could order that same easy wring mop right now,
in stock and available both in store and online.
Now you're required to spend at least $45
to get the free delivery,
but if you don't want to get out and you can't get out,
that nominal delivery fee of a few dollars
for something that's in stock,
that doesn't require you to wait until April 27th,
might be your better bet.
When it comes to power tools
and leaf blowers and lawnmowers,
I just want to give you an example of a store
you may not even know exists right now
and that store is Sears.
Just letting you know this
because not only are they taking orders,
but they're shipping them really quickly.
Let's take this Black+Decker lawnmower as an example.
If I was to order right now on Amazon,
Monday, April 20th is the ship date I get.
I punch the exact same thing into sears.com
and yes, not only will it offer me the same price
once I add this to my cart,
but I get a ship date of Thursday, April 2nd.
Guys that's 18 days faster than Amazon.
When it comes to electronics and TVs,
every product seems to generate a different ship date
and Amazon may be the better bet for some products.
But if you look at this television as an example,
the Samsung 55 inch TV
that you can see on your screen right now,
it's really weird, it is not even shipping from Amazon,
but they'll take the order,
but it shows up as prime
and then it shows up as available from these sellers.
And I've tried a bunch of different zip codes
and it's really not clear what's going to happen when
and who it's shipping from
and some of the items say new
and there's all of these expedited shipping fees attached.
The same product is available on Best Buy right now,
where their telling me
with a whole set of zip codes that I've checked,
it will arrive this Thursday, April 2nd.
It is also available with store pick up options
in some areas where Best Buy will bring it out to the curb
and put it into your car
so you don't even need to deal with anyone.
B&H is another great alternative to Amazon.
They've got all sorts of deals
on both Apple electronic pc products fully loaded,
everything you need
and they are shipping relatively quickly, which is great.
With regards to shoes,
it's a lot of hit and miss on Amazon,
but zappos.com, which is owned by Amazon,
offers an incredibly quick turn around on shoes
and I know this is a time where a lot of you are like,
"I'm not shopping for shoes right now,"
well some of us need to.
My daughter's feet are growing three seconds
and she needs shoes
for when we're even walking around the park,
social distancing, so this would be a great grab.
With regards to pet food,
Amazon's still shipping relatively quickly
on many of it's pet food products.
Different sizes of Blue Buffalo products
will ship April 7th which is great,
but if you can't wait to April 7th,
just want to show you an example of a website called Chewy,
where many of their products will ship,
as you guys can see here,
free one to two day shipping.
Interesting and important to note
if you've never heard of the website chewy.com,
they've got a great selection of food
and medicine and pet supplies,
as does the website partsmart.com,
which has curbside pickup available right now.
So if you do not want to go into the store,
but you need something delivered quickly,
their curbside pickup is all tied to what's going on
and to keep you and your family safe,
so this is new for a lot of zip codes.
For the many parents out there,
something like diapers is brutal right now
for certain sizes on Amazon
and they're doing their best I know,
but I need stage 5 diapers in my household, pronto.
Not for me, for my daughter, for those of you wondering.
And I just can't use Amazon for the service.
Walmart. Same thing, cannot use Walmart.
If you guys are unfamiliar with honest.com,
not only do they have a whole selection
of well made products that ship quickly,
but if I were looking for stage five diapers,
not only could I use this donut print,
but most of their products will ship within 48 hours.
That could obviously change,
but if you've never shopped from honest.com,
that would be a great website to go to
and then Buy Buy Baby has 20% off one single item
if you sign up to their email newsletter.
So that's great to know Buy Buy Baby as an alternative
where most of their products are also in stock
and shipping incredibly quickly given the circumstances.
When it comes to gaming,
it's a bit of a mess out there
with so many people trying to find different ways
to entertain their families at home and in general.
Let's use the PlayStation 4 Slim as an example.
If you were to order this from Amazon right now,
it's giving me a delivery date of Monday, April 20th.
Target as an alternative,
you might not have associated gaming with Target,
they not only have it in store on line,
but at least in my local store there is one available
and if you want it delivered to different zip codes,
you could get as it early as Tuesday, April 7th.
That's good to keep in mind,
EB Games is mostly selling refurbished products right now,
so I wouldn't spend a whole lot of time there.
With regards to toys,
guys Toys"R"Us is still in business,
they do have a website
although they've had all sorts of issues
and they are shipping every toy you can imagine
quickly and online right now.
So if you are looking for toys,
that would be a great place to search.
With regards to furniture,
the shipping times are not terrible
given how large a piece of furniture is.
But if you have extra people at your house right now
or that unanticipated college son or daughter that's back
and turned their room into a home office
and they need a couch to sleep on,
an alternative to Amazon is Overstock.
Overstock.com has got a great spring blowout sale right now
and they are shipping very quickly
with many products in stock.
I think the big takeaway message is to go to stores
that specialize in some of the products,
but also think outside of the box.
That's what I think we saw on Target
and that's definitely what we'll see
with regards to furniture.
For the pillow and type of decor items,
if you're spending a lot more time at home right now
like I am and you're looking at inexpensive ways to upgrade,
World Market is a great alternative
to what you might see elsewhere, they are shipping quickly
and if you are looking for something like pillows or towels,
Pur-Well, if you guys have never been to their website,
I feature a lot of their products, big fan.
$9.99 will score you a pillow today from Pur-Well Living
if that's still in stock.
They also have sanitization and beauty products,
so if you are looking for alternatives
and in stock products and quick shipping,
I've tested every merchant you see on your screen right now
in one way or another.
Drop me a line if there's another subject of products
that you want me to tackle
or there's an essential you simply can't find,
I'm here for you, I really want to advocate for you
and I want to do it as quickly as possible.
I know it's been a rough week,
I'm thinking of you guys, I love you,
I hope you stay safe and I hope you stay healthy
and I will see you for my next upload.
