This article is a joke. They are the only company reporting on something, without providing any evidence of them publicly stating that they are pulling back their prime delivery initiative, especially when in their quarterly earnings they state this :

> January 31, 2019 at 4:01 PM EST Amazon Air launched a new gateway operation, in Riverside, CA and announced three additional gateway operations that will launch in 2019: Wilmington, OH; Alliance, TX; and Rockford, IL. Amazon Air provides gateway operations – onsite airport facilities to load, unload, and sort packages – at over 20 airports, making two-day shipping possible almost anywhere in the U.S." [2]

Do not waste your time.

Did amazon publicly state that they are moving away from 2-day shipping?

The only thing I can find is information related to their Amazon Day. [1]

It certainly _feels_ like I’ve had more Prime orders not show up in 2 days, when viewing the last 6 months, vs. those before that.

As a household we do about 400 orders a year on Amazon with a couple spikes around e.g. Christmas, but a consistent baseline of at least 20-25 monthly.

There’s a CSV you can pull which shows all the orders you’ve ever made, on what date, the cost, etc. I can’t recall if it logs a date for when it was delivered. Will have to look later.

You are one sample. Their are 100 million prime members.

I am not saying that the service you are receiving is not poor, I am just saying that I cannot go off of two people complaining that their service is getting worse.
