I honestly can’t think of the last time I needed something quickly.

It depends on circumstances. I've got grandkids, pets, various hobbies, etc. Often times, I may need something within the next 24h, and Amazon is nearly always more convenient than going to a local store (which would take a minimum of 1 hour of my time).

I've had free same day/next day with Prime for years. I did a quick search just now and I'm seeing a lot (most?) items listed as : "FREE delivery Overnight 4 AM - 8 AM. Order within 6 hrs 30 mins. Details", which would be approx. 8pm to get an item in less than 12 hours.

My wife often has me ordering stuff like at 11pm. And we'll have before lunch the following day. I mean, it really is way more convenient than shopping local.

Plus, we do make use of other Prime perks like Prime video and music, so it's still a good value for our home.

Go figure, I just ordered something on the 11th, and it was delivered today, the 13th. Non-prime shipping.

Non-prime shipping is usually 2 days, though, right? That's not bad, either way.
