I’m not hooked. In fact, I think it’s kind of obnoxious how much effort they put into getting me stuff so fast. If there was a “slow ship” button for Prime, I’d do it almost every time. I also don’t need notifications of it being “almost here! Watch it on a map!” Completely useless information for most of my orders.
- rhino369 7y agoI get a slow ship option. Usually thrown in some sort of coupon too. Though I suspect they just wait a while and then ship it fast anyway.
- skellera 7y agoAs mentioned, there is a button to ship it slower where they usually give you $1 or so for a digital purchase. I think they slow it down by packing it up with other orders along the way which is more efficient yet slower to deliver.

- kilo_bravo_3 7y agoIn my region, not only is there a slow ship option, there is also a delivery day option. With delivery day, you can bundle up all of your orders for the week and have them delivered in a single large shipment on a pre-specified day, Monday through Saturday. You pick your day, and you have the option to make it the default on all future orders, and then you get one big box. I don't know if it varies by region but with my account they are prominently displayed radio buttons on the "Review items and shipping" part of the checkout page.
