Like NanaLinda, unless I place my order on Thursday or Friday I reliably get delivery in two days unless otherwise noted when I place the order.

Only one time in all of the years with Prime have I had one item not delivered within two days - which was not an issue.  Amazon is, hands down, my number 1 go to place for everything.  Their customer service just rocks, plain and simple.

Happened to come across my neighbor out in his yard today.

Anyone have this issue.  I have not and I am a Prime Member as well.

I have had no issues with my Prime Deliveries. I don't see how they arrive, but I'm thinking half by USPS and half by other means - some sort of delivery service. I say that because they don't all arrive at the same time the mail does.

I haven't had any delays at all lately.

One thing for folks to remember (I'm thinking the neighbor) is that Prime is 2-day *shipping time*, not 100% promised 2-day delivery.

It's easy to miss/not notice when they tell you up front it will take an extra 4-5 days because we get used to it being mostly 2 days. Sometimes, the place where it's coming from needs extra prep time. I have missed noticing that a time or two, so I try to be extra careful now.

If possible I look for things "Fulfilled by Amazon" because I believe that means they (Amazon) are shipping it from their warehouse.

It could also be a lazy or overworked USPS mail carrier who just waits the extra day. But Amazon wants to know. If it becomes a pattern for your neighbor that his stuff is often late and he tells Amazon, they will do something about it.

Mine frequently take 3 days or longer.  They arrive by the EDD, but it's more than two days.  I don't understand it.  It wasn't this way originally.  I've gotten Sunday deliveries in the past, too.  I order from Amazon all the time.  Today I did get a two day delivery.

Amazon has its own delivery service.

I know. But it depends on where you live how you receive packages. I'm pretty rural. Yet I had a Sunday delivery this past weekend, so clearly it was brought. I know they also have Uber-like agreements with individuals for deliveries.

I have Prime - no complaints about deliveries.  If offered, I'll take slower delivery and get a credit on future digital orders, or panty orders.  I'm never in a rush for stuff.

I think USPS brings most of my deliveries.  They arrive on the promised day, sometimes earlier.

[OnlyShopsOnline]

My Prime orders arrive by the guaranteed delivery date 99% of the time...sometimes a day early.  But, we do have a distribution center about 30 minutes from our home.

The few times they haven't, I've either let it go or called Amazon CS.  If you call, they have a variety of things that they offer to you.  I selected the extra month added to my membership.
