Fun fact - if you order a bunch of stuff non-prime, the ship time will be like a week and a half or whatever. If you then upgrade to prime (even the free trial), the delivery estimate suddenly recalculates and it’ll be there in 2 days.
It’s artificially slowed, by obscene amounts, to encourage paying for the subscription. Which other sites don’t do.
I think it depends on where you live. I’ve been without Prime a while and haven’t seen the artificial slowdown. It always says it’ll take 9 days or something when I order, but most often I get a shipping update the next day and things show up in 2-3 days anyway.
