Just as a note that market I am in seems to have lots more free ONE day delivery. I don't even get why they advertise that - you used to be able to pay $3.99 or something for one day, now its free? And also in an amazon now delivery zone which goes even faster.

Amazon just did a deal for something like another 20 Boeing 767's. I'm very surprised to hear they are pulling back from 2 day / prime. My experience is they are going the other way.

I wonder if they're trying to do something like drive traffic to certain products which they can ensure they have in abundance? That way they don't have to ship your favorite color flash drive halfway across the country overnight, they can just ship a pallet of them to your city and suggest you buy that one instead.
