My experience is that if you live near a couple/few depots/distribution centers, then you consistently get quick service. If you live away from a major city/distribution center, then the order --> receiving the item times go to hell starting sometime in Oct or Nov.
We have mostly been 2-3 days, but back in Oct, our shipping times went to 3-5 days. We used to get 99.9% of our orders via USPS (too far for Amazon delivery most of the time). They switched to UPS for almost everything and that added 2 days on avg.
If we ship stuff to the kids' place, they still generally get the item the next day.
I drive past one of their big distro centers when I go into the office.
