  Shipping with prime has gotten much less appealing lately. It used to be seeing that logo meant it was coming tomorrow, or maybe the next day - now it's almost useless, as even third party sellers can show up as prime shipping. Lots more "available if you spend 30 dollars" prime choices now too, where that 30 dollars has to be in similar tier prime level products. Trying to win free shipping as a paying prime member is now often a game of trying to be clever - the game they really, really want you to play. I'm growing more and more tired of it, but for now - the time saved going to places locally or site-hopping to find the best deal is still worth more to me, but "for now" means that it's basically under review - that game playing is really making me evaluate that convenience/cost balance..

  This happens so often to me. I'll be expecting a package one day and 8pm rolls around and I check the order status and it says 'expected delivery: tomorrow' - when I was sure the delivery was today at the time I placed the order. It makes me feel like I'm going crazy, but I'm sure there's some sort of bug during the checkout process which switches me back to two-day shipping after I've selected one-day.
