    I cancelled Amazon prime a few years ago. Amazon was never able to honor the next day or even two day shipping so I cancelled.

    Technically, for me, there was no change in shipping speed for me cancelling prime

      I used to travel a lot for work and needed deliveries on specific days. Amazon guaranteed delivery days were crap.

      I know a guy who actually got an official response from Amazon about that. Their response was “We guarantee 2 day shipping once the items are shipped. We may not start shipping for a day or two depending on how busy we are.”
