This is definitely true. Back in the pre-Prime days (ie, 5+ years ago) Amazon would send your package as soon as they possibly could, and even with the super saver shipping you&#x27;d still often get your order less than the minimum 5 days.<p>Now I&#x27;ll order something on Amazon (not a Prime member) and they&#x27;ll sit on the package for a week and then overnight it to me.<p>I&#x27;m not a fan. Paying more for faster shipping didn&#x27;t used to mean that cheaper&#x2F;free shipping <i>always</i> took longer, it just meant that you were guaranteed to get it quickly.
