It's gotten harder to get a free month of prime (I used to take advantage of that, whenever a package was late). Now they tend to just apologize, when before they offered you compensation immediately.

I've found that now what they do is just give you delivery dates that aren't 2 days in the future, even when in stock. Sometimes I've had orders on Monday with ETAs of Friday, with prime, in stock (no notice on the page saying extra processing or out of stock).

This is what drove me to cancel Prime. After having this happen to me three times (adding Prime items to cart and getting all the way to the end of checkout before noticing the lack of two day shipping).
