I stopped Amazon Prime because it when from being "your package will be at your house in two days" to "your package might leave our facility in two days and arrive to you some indeterminate time later."
I also feel like anytime I get on Amazon now, I might as well be on Alibaba, but it's 10x the price. It's hard to find good things because there are so many cheap factory direct products with smashed-my-face-against-the-keyboard brand names. There's a Jansport backpack for sale, but you have to sort through all the bags from JDOEBG, AHIXBX, and PRJAGG first.
Shipping is the other way around for me. It's still two day shipping but doesn't ship for 2-3 days. So they're technically true to their prime benefit.
