I never got digital credit offers for slow shipping. It was always Pantry credits. So I'd choose two-day shipping and get slow shipping anyway. In return for Amazon's generosity, I cancelled Prime and haven't ordered anything on Amazon since Black Friday.

Slow shipping; not 2-days, huh? I've consistently gotten orders from Amazon in 2 days, when I selected 2-day shipping. In fact, I don't remember any time when I
didn't get my order in 2 days (admittedly, I had Prime one year), and I've bought a lot of stuff from them over the years. Amazon is the 800 lb. gorilla in the retail business right now. My theory is that package delivery companies put a little extra effort into getting Amazon orders to Amazon customers on time, regardless of what it takes--it would be a huge loss to the company to have Amazon to quit using them.
Now Target is a different matter, as far as when you get your "2-day shipping" order. On my last order, I qualified for automatic 2-day shipping. A couple of items came the very next day. But I had to wait on one or two items (in one box) for literally a week and a half or so.
