If it happens twice in the same month, they give a $10 gift credit. (He lives in Colorado.) I'm not the the kind to do that, but he says I should be, it let's Amazon know you're not happy. A couple times I've bought appliance parts for more with Prime because I needed them quickly, only to get them delivered later than the non-Prime parts were scheduled to be delivered. It may be growing pains, but if they can't meet the two day delivery guarantee they need stop advertising that they can.
Strange -
The Amazon fulfillment center is at I-45 / I-20 interchange.
I.E: You could almost see it from your location near DFW.

I live twice as far away as you do (about 80 miles) and I always get my things a day or two early.

I did use a "Prime Trial" to see what difference that made.
I started getting the packages the day before I ordered them.
