For me, here in Germany, the checkout always shows absurd delivery dates.
I'm in my shopping basket on Friday 4pm and the checkout tells me "order within the next 6 hours for delivery on Saturday". It definitely won't happen on Saturday, but on Monday, that much experience I've got in the meantime.
In my opinion, the shopping basket is based on calendar days. Order on Friday = delivery on Saturday (Prime = 1 day in Germany), no matter what time on Friday it is.
I simply don't rely on those schedules from Amazon anymore, I've got my own experience now which is pretty accurate.
BTW: The order confirmation by email after checkout shows the correct date, most of the times one day later than originally stated in the check-out. I can live with that, but I don't understand why they show such absurd schedules in the shopping basket. Oversight or strategy?
