    Yep I think that they optimized so much for 2 day delivery that it is cheaper to give to everyone. They just let the order sit around for a few days to make it take longer.

      That’s what I don’t understand. The item is using up warehouse space, marked for me, for five days. Surely they’d make more money just mailing it and restocking the item to sell more during those five days.

        Then you wouldn’t be pressured into paying for Prime. A subscription is the gift that keeps giving forever. Amazon probably wouldn’t give half a shit if nobody ordered an item ever again as long as everybody keeps paying for Prime.
