My guess is it's staffing. I use Amazon Fresh (for groceries) and Amazon Prime, and it's more apparent with Fresh -- normally I can get everything delivered next day. Fresh didn't have deliveries at all for almost a week around New Year's, and now their earliest deliveries are 2-3 days from today, though it seems to be getting better. Fresh seems to have most items in stock, but only for pickup, not delivery, which is why I suspect it's a staffing issue.

As for Prime, I used to be able to get deliveries 2 days after purchase, but my cart ETA for most items shows 3-4 days at least. It's not a big deal but I've certainly noticed that Amazon doesn't seem to be able to deliver as fast as it used to just last month.
