Did Amazon change their Prime shipping speed?

I ordered a new lens from Amazon last Monday and it still hasn't arrived.  I'm a Prime member, usually they are 2 day shipment times.  

Did they change this?

Not all items are two day shipping, you need to buy prime offers....

Why so serious?

It did have the "Prime" button next to it.

I've had that problem before.  When I talked to Amazon they said all they Prime is the shipping time from when the seller actually ships it.  Some sellers take longer to process their orders.

Was it sold by Amazon or 3rd party?

Did they give you shipping information?  A tracking number? I've found Adorama for example is an Amazon affiliate, their products will have the prime button displayed and they will ship when they want. Its not a pain, still free shipped but sometimes takes a couple extra days.

I've had several instances of "prime" items not arriving within 2 days. I've called & they have added extra months to my Prime membership since the items didn't come in the window they said they would. However, they stopped adding months the last time. I guess I reached a limit to free month add ons.

+1 they are pretty good about taking care of you if you don't get product in 2 days.  Now they have drones delivering your stuff, soon enough.

No, they most likely shipped from a 3rd party

Not that I've noticed.  But you know what, Amazon could have had a whoops.  I've had orders where depending on time of the day, might say overnight or day after shipping.  But reality, it's not getting placed till the following day, pushing all that off 1 day out.
