There's a difference, and Amazon tries as hard as it can to make sure people don't notice it.
Amazon hasn't used "two-day shipping" in their Prime ads in a while. It's "Fast & Free" or "Free delivery on millions of items as fast as today." We still get most of our orders within 2 business days of ordering.

Prime offers a lot of benefits. Every consumer needs to decide if the cost is worth it for them. It hasn't been about just the shipping for a long time. It's a subscription with many varied benefits. Video, music, shipping, reading, exclusive discounts, etc.
