Prime deliveries have also changed from an average of 2-3 days to most items are now 1 month.

I've had pretty good luck, where Amazon shows a "safe estimate" for the delivery date, but it arrives in a few days instead. (I'm in Texas, maybe you're referring to Canada specifically)
That seems to be recovering a little in some areas. Most things are showing typical Prime delivery time for me now.
Not just Prime, all packages. Even an hour from Mississauga, where Amazon has a warehouse, packages are super delayed. I'm not sure if it's Canada Post or Amazon, probably both.
Many of my packages (not just Amazon) have been coming out of Vancouver despite being in the GTA, so my assumption is that the items themselves are fresh off the boat (or plane) from factories in Asia, and the demand has outstripped their ability to get inventory on trucks and into the Mississauga warehouse to begin with.
Are you certain those packages are Amazon fulfilled rather than merchant fulfilled?
Is that in Canada? I still get it under a week (2-7 days) depending on the item.
