Huh I get next-day included on every Prime purchase I make and always have done. If I order something at 11pm at night it's usually at my door by around 10am the next day. That's on standard Prime, and I don't live in a major metropolitan area.

Prime would be a pretty poor deal if I had to wait two days for anything to turn up!

Here are the shipping benefits:

* FREE Two-Day Shipping on eligible items to addresses in the contiguous U.S. and other shipping benefits. For more information, go to Amazon Prime Shipping Benefits. * FREE Same-Day Delivery in eligible zip codes. For more information, go to Order with Prime FREE Same-Day Delivery.

I'm guessing you live in an eligible zip code?

No I don't, but I do live in the UK. I think the whole country is eligible for one-day delivery here.

I still think two-day delivery is pretty rubbish. The great thing about Amazon Prime is it's faster than finding time to go to the shops and pick it up. If I have to wait literally days for it to arrive it's not the case any more.

Yeah this is all attributable to the relative size/shipping distances involved in the UK vs. the US.

1-day shipping in the U.S. outside of major metro areas is basically impossible at that $100 price point (or whatever Prime is these days). 2 days is pretty remarkable when you really think about it.

Weird, i've never seen that. Wonder if it is due to your proximity to a Amazon center or something.

Fwiw, i (not OP) still feel 2 day is plenty fast and i get my moneys worth. Ordering 2 day on non-Prime items reminds me how expensive that crap is normally.
