This seems to be to be very regional. Here in Toronto, the shipping speed is truly incredible. I'll often order at night, and it arrives the next day. They've even started offering "overnight" shipping, with packages arriving between 4am and 8am. I do see an incredible push to increase their logistics capability, beyond what would be necessary if they were just coasting on their monopoly power. I do think they see their competition as being from local retailers, as much, if not more so than from other online stores. As much as I don't want to be a fan of Amazon -- their offering, especially because of the logistics/shipping, combined with generally fair prices, is quite incredible.
