Do you have Prime? I don't use it, since I only buy 1 or 2 things off Amazon a year and my experience has been similar to yours. It takes 3-5 days to get an order out, then only 1-3 days actual in-transit shipping time. My conspiracy theory is that Amazon is making non-Prime purchasing - where you pay a one-off fee - a worse experience so that you'll be "forced" to try Prime. Or at the very least they put non-Prime customers to the back of the warehouse queue more often. All it has done is turned me off Amazon, and I try to buy things someplace else if I can. It helps that I don't live in the US or UK, and our provincial Amazon is a much worse offering compared to those 2.

Of course they are. I'm a Prime-subscriber and love the guaranteed next-day arrival (Germany) of my orders. However when I have to order something from our non-Prime office-/-work-account, Amazon never ships the items on the same day, regardless how early I order. I'm certain this is intentional and I'm ok with it. Having my frequent orders reliably arrive on the next day is worth the subscription. If you don't think so, you'll have to be patient. I think that's how Amazon sees it too.
