I know its fun to believe that these delivery issues might be wider-spread than they actually are. But believing that they're pervasive enough to be indicative of some sort of major "collapse," might be quite a bit premature.
I get that people get frustrated, and are completely justified in weighing whether or not Prime still holds value for them (or whether or not Amazon itself makes sense for them any more), but I think its a mistake to believe the number of customers (or Prime members) who are experiencing similar issues is near great enough to think Amazon could be "in trouble" because of it. I suspect most customers still get the right product, delivered to the right address, in the time-frame indicated. I know I do (with the very rare snafu, of course).
I ordered a couple of completely frivolous things during Prime Day, but I've never really been much of a Prime Day shopper to begin with. I don't really count it it as "perk" of my Prime membership.
