They ditched the 2-day promise years ago. I'd seen an article somewhere that suggested you can complain to their support about not meeting the 2 day and they might give you some form of rebate or giftcard.
Prime now only means free shipping, thats it. Plenty of 'prime' items have weeks+ delivery estimates.
Btw, they got me hooked on Prime because I have a bunch of photos backed up and no time to transfer them, but cancelling prime immediately deleted your data for some services, like backups. Yay.
it still says "You get unlimited FREE Two-Day Shipping on eligible items with Amazon Prime, with no minimum spend."
They also claim "Amazon Prime members shipping to select metro areas across the US can choose to receive FREE Same-Day Delivery on a broad selection of items." which is probably a euphemism for "people in the Washington, D.C. area get free same-day shipping which will probably fool politicians into thinking that their constituents get same-day shipping too".
I don't mind if the 2 days is occasionally 3 days but now 2 days is more normally "4 days to 2 weeks" I get mad about it when I think "maybe I'll run out to Target to get this right now but if I can have this in two days I won't and it turns into a week and I feel like a fool." In that case I think it is terribly anti-competitive.
