No more 1 or two day shipping from Amazon?

[Quattro Pete]

Amazon has it, and it says free shipping for Prime members (I'm assuming this means it's a Prime item).

Again, if it doesn't show the prime logo (see image above), then you are not going to get it in 1-2 days, likely because it's OOS.

Is it the first product on the left in the below image? If so, there is no prime logo underneath it, so you'll get free shipping, but it won't be the usual 1-2 days. You'll see the next two products do show the prime logo so those are available for quick delivery.

I ordered a few items last night and here were the options >>>>>

A) Pay $7.50 for shipping and arrival date would be 5/5 - 5/7
B) Free shipping and arrival date would be 5/7

I live 15 miles from an Amazon warehouse, but Prime (I'm a member) item shipping very rarely takes only 2 days. Four to five days seems to be the norm. Sometimes an item description shows it being delivered in 2 days, but when I add it to my cart it will show delivery in 5-6 days. I go back to the description and it still shows 2 days delivery. If I contact them, sometimes they speed up delivery, sometimes they issue me a $5 credit. I understand that covid has a big impact on their way of doing business, but I fear that what we are experiencing now will remain when (if) things return to normal.

So how do you tell if it's a Prime item or not?

While others mentioned what to look for, it could be a combination of items that are sold directly by Amazon or that are "Fulfilled by Amazon". The items are placed in Amazon warehouses and Amazon handles all the logistics. In some cases the seller may be somewhere else and the warehouse is in some other part of the country.

I've also bought from Amazon "marketplace" sellers that directly shipped me the item. For those you need to look carefully for their shipping terms.

that rain x plastic item also shows:

so strange they have the six pax in stock but not the single bottle. I wonder if the delay banner is a goof up...I would be tempted to order one and see.

Not many people are going to buy six packs, so not surprised that's instock.

And breaking the pack isn't practical for them (in case anyone suggests it)

Yup, being a Prime member let's you get free shipping for that item, but without the Prime logo, it isn't a Prime 2 day item.

Everything?

I've never been a prime member and I've gotten my last two orders in two days when it usually takes at least four or five. It may be that I ordered something they had at a distribution center in my region.

Explain?...how do they receive/obtain single bottles to ship out?
