Hmm, given that the current 2-day often turns out to be 3 or 4, I am not wildly optimistic about 1-day. But at least Amazon aren't just ratcheting up the Prime dues without actually offering more to customers.

There seems to be some mixed experience here. I saw other people in a different thread saying that it wasn't that surprising given the fact that they get 60 or 70% of their orders next-day.

Probaby has to do with location, proximity to warehouses, and logistics of certain areas.

Very much so... also, a lot of the time I see items that don't even ship for a few days. I don't think this will significantly change much, it's just they've decided that they crossed the threshold that they can advertise under the new constraint.

I haven't had that happen to me at all. Weird.

Happens all the time. There are like 10 sub categories of Prime delivery....

So I can get counterfeit goods with fake reviews faster? Meh.
