It's not one-day for all of the UK either. ;)
Saying that as I lived in a ~reasonably remote part Cornwall at the time Amazon launched 1-day shipping in the UK. Bought stuff from them literally every day for a few months.
At first stuff really would turn up in 1 day, and it was awesome. However, after a while I guess they figured out it was costing them a fortune in delivery costs. So the 1-day thing silently became "2 day".
As in, when not logged in it, items would be shown as "Receive it by (say) Wed xx" on a Tuesday. After logging in and purchasing, the expected date would then become Thursday. Yes, even with Prime 1-day. ;)

For me it's a moot point anyway, as after some bad customer service experiences - dishonesty on Amazons part - I don't really buy anything through Amazon any more.
