Some Amazon Prime customers are fuming, claiming the company has repeatedly delayed their shipments and backtracked on the two-day-shipping guarantee that comes with membership. But the data shows that Amazon has actually sped up the process of getting packages to customers. It's likely Amazon's delivery times are getting better, on average, but the sheer volume of customers could be leading to an uptick in customer complaints. Still, experts speculate that the proliferation of new Amazon delivery services could be leading to a disconnect with customers, many of whom might just not get how Prime really works. Either way, it's not great news for Amazon, which is trying to attract even more people to Prime. A growing chorus of customers are claiming that Amazon is not holding up its end of the two-day-shipping bargain.
