Prime is a waste of money. I find most stuff arrives in 2-3 days and its easy to spend the minimum to get free shipping.

I feel at least in major urban areas Amazon’s delivery network is efficient enough that they have to artificially delay non-Prime orders. I order from Amazon only occasionally, and while sometimes there’s actual step-by-step tracking I’ll usually see no movement at all for 3+ days, and suddenly the item has dispatched from the warehouse and it is reaching my house in an hour.

I've learned that I don't need anything in 2-3 days typically anyway.
