However, it seems that delayed shipping times depend on your location. One former employee says that certain counties in Washington have five-day Prime shipping, for instance. We’ve got all the details you need to know.
Here’s the backstory
I can personally attest to this. When I was a Prime member two years ago, I loved receiving packages in two days. But over the past year, near-constant delays made speedy shipping a distant memory. I’m not alone, either. Customers have been complaining on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.

Bottom line: If your Prime orders take too long, it’s not just you. For the time being, customers dealing with this problem have to grin and bear it. If you complain on social media, you’ll get apologies and explanations — but no solutions.
Across the U.S., Prime customers wonder why their packages take longer than two days to arrive. Customers have decried the late shipping times so loudly that one former employee put it to the test.
In most Washington counties, Prime orders took two days, as promised.But in 13 counties, Prime orders took four to five business days. Oddly enough, the checkout page mentioned “Free delivery” but didn’t mention next-day shipping.
Either way, many customers say they used to get two-day shipping — but now have to wait longer. This may be due to supply chain issues, staffing problems or internal policy changes the public doesn’t yet know about.
