I do pay for the "stupidly overpriced Amazon Prime" and, originally, Amazon's guarantee of two day delivery was pretty much a guarantee. Now the promise is good about 75% to 80% of the time, but sometimes it slips by four or five days – I had one "guaranteed 2 Day delivery" that didn't ship for about ten days. I don't think the "roll your own" delivery service, in conjunction with UPS and the Postal Service (or sometimes a combination of both) is working out that well. There are times now when I buy stuff on eBay when, in the past, I would have bought them from Amazon.
