"Amazon just sent me an email pleading me to renew my Prime subscription, boasting about somebody, somewhere gets 1-day shipping for some item sometime but they are dead to me because 2-day shipping disappeared 2 years ago for me. No way am I going to pay for a subscription to get service that is worse than what I get from other retailed. (E.g. I ordered a game from GameStop on Saturday, it was postmarked an hour later.)"
This might work for you and people in cities but as you get to other areas what you want might take longer than 2 days to arrive.
- PaulHoule 4y agoI am in a rural area about a 4 hour drive from NYC. Other retailers frequently get me next day or 2nd day shipping. This includes big ones like Walmart and Office Depot and many speciality retailers based around NYC. Amazon now promises me 5-day shipping at best. I was one of the early adopters of Prime, I subscribed shortly after it came out. Amazon Prime shipping was better than average back then, it is worse than average now, and that's completely untenable for a service which is marketing itself as "premium". It's like if the cashier made fun at you at the store for using an American Express card.
