This was one of the perks for being a prime member...1 or 2 day free shipping. Now everything is 3 to 6 weeks shipping? What's going on?
 
Ive seen a week delay at times before shipment! Crazy world at the moment. But, I understand and have learned patience.
 
So how do you tell if it's a Prime item or not?
It'll have the prime logo next to the product title.

I went to several of my local auto parts stores today looking for Rain-X for plastic. None of them had this stuff in stock, so I looked it up on Amazon. Amazon has it, and it says free shipping for Prime members (I'm assuming this means it's a Prime item). So I click on the product and it says delivery May 27th - Jun 23rd, and it says usually ships in 1 to 2 MONTHS. Why would the shipping time be this long if it's a Prime item?

Tell me about it. I still haven't received a backrest that a fellow rider shipped to me via USPS over 3 weeks ago. A rep from there assures me they haven't lost it, but I'll believe that when it gets delivered...

Because it is out of stock, just like the parts stores. Probably on a manufacturer backorder, maybe Walmart or similar has it.

Are you a PAYING Prime member or just use the free trials? I assume the paying ones get better treatment. When I went to cancel my one month free trial at the end of it, they offered to extend it for another month free. I don't use it much, but why pay for it if you don't have to.

There's a difference between a Prime item, and receiving free shipping because you're a Prime member. I get that doesn't make sense, but that's how it is. The attached photo is a screenshot of some of the product selection I got by searching "Wix". You can see the item with the red box is a Prime item, and gives a delivery date. The item with the green item isn't a Prime item (no Prime logo) and doesn't give a shipping date, but I still get free shipping as a result of being a Prime member. The green-boxed item would likely be very slow to ship, like what you're experiencing.

In the interest of avoiding any added confusion, I'll add that I placed the red/green boxes in the screenshot - you won't see them on the Amazon site.

Paying member here...
 
It's pretty obvious that Amazon is out of stock currently for this item.

Prime FREE Delivery & FREE Returns
FREE Delivery May 27 - June 23 for Prime members
Details
Usually ships within 1 to 2 months.

In your defense, they used to say "out of stock" or "expected back in stock on...".

What other items are taking 3-6 weeks ? I ordered some things yesterday that are arriving tomorrow... 🤷‍♂️
