Amazon Prime Was Too Good to Be True After All

What's especially annoying is the "Your package has been handed over to your local Postal Service by the carrier for delivery" which essentially turns 2-day shipping into 3 or 4.

Since Prime never had videos that I wanted to watch, and their 2 day shipping isn't 2 day anymore, there isn't much point in me continuing it.

Just curious...do you live in a rural area? I live in Los Angeles, and I always get my packages within 2 days, about half the time the next day. In December, orders I placed on Friday arrived on Saturday UPS or Sunday USPS.

No, I live in a (semi)major city of ~300,000.

It use to be that way. I'd order something and it'd be at my door in the morning. Now it's a 3 or 4 day ship.
