You might think so, but probably not. There is a lot more options for delivery in big cities. In my neck of the woods, Amazon has started using independents to deliver the last mile, i.e. some guy or lady in a car. For a long time, the local post office was doing the last leg delivery. They had a somewhat interesting take on delivery. They would mark a package as delivered (causing me to search the front yard and my neighbor's door steps) when they hadn't actually delivered it yet, but rather it had been put in the mail man's bin for delivery. It would then show up a day or two later. Fortunately, they have cleaned up their act quite a bit.
I've been using Prime since the beginning as well and get a lot of stuff delivered. Like a lot of people, I stick to filled by Amazon whenever possible. At one time, Amazon was very good about acting on delivery issues. Not any more.
