Plus the delivery dates are a joke anyway. Prime or not my orders all show up in the same amount of time. Sure they promise it's always 1-2 days but that doesn't seem to matter.
I mean YMMV based on location, but I'm in a semi major city in canada and I ordered some stuff off Prime on Monday evening and it was here by yesterday afternoon. I've had non prime stuff come quickly too but not that quickly and the longest I think I've waited for something prime was 3 days.
In amazons defense it's 1-2 days shipping not processing or handling but they are definitely still deceiving
The details for Prime explicitly refer to it as Two Day Delivery, not shipping.
