This used to be a thing but hasn't been for quite a while now to the best of my knowledge. It's hard to outcompete Amazon's logistics as a small seller, their whole store business operates at less than a 3% profit margin and they have scale to drive costs down which small sellers don't. They effectively subsidize the logistics with AWS, there's a reason Amazon became a monopoly after all.

    I cancelled Prime when dickface got elected and have not had a single issue since.

    I don't have Prime as well but shipping for orders over $35 is free. Since Amazon does the delivery themselves for anyone living in a city, I don't think it impacts the speed of arrival significantly either. Don't get me wrong, I don't order much and avoid Amazon when I can but it's not uncommon to find things which are 30%-40% cheaper there than anywhere else.
