DHL is faster than Amazon Prime

Paul, what do you mean by "1 and 2 day shipping HERE"? Your location is optimal for 1-2 day delivery? Or everything you order is advertised as 1-2 day shipping? I ask because before Covid-19, pretty much everything was 1 or 2 day delivery with a Prime account. That has changed, but is getting better. 2-day is no longer guaranteed.
I've discussed this with Amazon Customer Support because I'm paying for Prime but not getting the delivery I used to get. I order 90% of everything I need (except groceries) from Amazon. But delivery is rarely next day, often 3 days, and occasionally up to 5 days. And that's with Prime. Multiple times, too, I bought an item because the stated delivery date is 2 days. And then AFTER I placed the order my delivery status is suddenly 3 days. I've even had a promised SAME DAY delivery when I check out, mysteriously change to next day. Or NEXT DAY delivery get changed to 2 days. Nobody at Amazon has ever given me a satisfactory answer on this. I'm just told they'll have their "team" look into it. Bottom line is that Amazon, delivery date wise, is nowhere near as reliable as they were pre-Covid19.
Yes Bob, I must have an optimal location. (about 20 minutes North of Boston)
Most of my orders are 1 or 2 days, however some take 3 or so.

I’ve got some stuff the same day from Amazon.
Same. Guess it helps they built a warehouse 10 miles north of me
40 miles in my case.
I asked because when I ship First Class Package, packages going to most cities usually take a day less than those going to rural areas. I find the same with Priority Mail.
On a related note, First Class Package packages take less time to go from CT to CA than from CT to FL. For whatever reason, packages to Florida take the most time for delivery.
Un friggen believable! Good deal! I went to overnight a check or at least 2-3 day it in an envelope and the cheapest ups bid was $50 for 3day. Fed ex was worse. Granted this was a mail drop location, the lady at the local fed ex shipping was a Can’t Understand Normal Thinking type and got pissy with me for not wearing a mask and wouldn’t help me(she actually left the counter and hid in back). So I went to the mail drop. Funny that you can buy paper clips on Amazon for $.99 and it ships free and is there in 2 days from China. I send a check, took 5 days and was stupid cost.
Glad you got that so fast and so inexpensive! It isn’t always that good

Priority mail would have been quicker, and around $8.
There were issues with usps losing stuff to that address, so I tried a different route

You missed the part under that that said you had to spend a certain amount to get that shipping speed. My dad falls for that every time.
can't beat amazon prime for the price
I used DHL cargo for years, they sucked donkey dick.
Had a late shipment, and a plane was down. Yeeaaaaa that cost us $20,000
