Ah, Vox. The worst news agency I've ever seen. No originality, 5 years late on most stories, and hyper political and useless, while pretending to not be.

Anyway, I have overnight and 1 day shipping sometimes, along with 2 day shipping.

Others match Amazon sometimes since Amazon delivers their stuff too. I've seen Amazon deliver stuff from Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, etc. They also have the most accurate times and always take a delivery photo.

However, the opposite is also true. Some things take longer, but the estimate in checkout has been accurate 99% of the time.

So, nothing happened 2 day shipping, if you live in thr right place, which is what the case has been for 10 years.

amazons same day or next day shipping has been unreliable for me. i’d say 10% of the time the items are “out for delivery” but never get delivered. then they get delivered the following day.

i’d prefer to go back to the days of rock solid 2-day delivery.

if folks are dealing with 4-5 day delivery then there’s little reason to be choosing amazon at all.

Before the pandemic 2 day shipping was really 2 days most of the time for me. I saw the regression happen around the time that Amazon announced that people in a few anointed zip codes would be getting faster shipping. (Say, Washington, DC so your legislator gets fast shipping and thinks his constituents are getting fast shipping too.)
