They quit trying to get me packages in 2 days sometime in the pandemic despite being just a few hours away from a fulfillment center where some relatives work.

Oddly around the same time shipping seemed to speed up from other retailers like Best Buy, Target, Adorama, etc. I buy things from Japan on Ebay and get them more quickly than packages from AMZN. Every other retailer sees shipping as a way to impress me, AMZN takes me for granted because I've been paying for Prime for 10 years.

There are accounts that people in the same ZIP codes as AMZN fulfillment centers aren't getting 2 day shipping. I guess these are rural areas with poor shopping options and AMZN doesn't need to be competitive. I'm pretty sure though that my congressman gets next day or same day shipping in Washington, DC.

Two day shipping expected and several hours away from a fulfillment center! Wow.

I agree not to pay prime if they can't deliver. That said, I get 0/1/2 day delivery most of the time, but I live in a city.

I was kinda surprised when I dumped Prime. Most stuff still has free 2-3 day shipping on it. I think Amazon has shot themselves in the foot, and their own vendors are making Prime not worth paying for.
