re: Amazon Prime pretty much isn't 2-day shipping anymore

Call them and tell them every time it happens. You will typically either get 10% off the order or a month free of Amazon Prime.

Nah they've gotten smarter. While shipping is still 2 days guaranteed, much less inventory is guaranteed to actually ship right away. The 2 day guarantee only applies once it ships. Granted, USPS can still frick them over, but often times they ship an item a day or two earlier than estimated so that even with a USPS lag, you still get the item by the guaranteed two day delivery date, which is almost never actually two days away from your order date.
