Ask HN: Amazon Deliveries

I opted out of Prime years ago, since it was not worth it for us.

When making orders now most of the time we avoid third party vendors, and choose "sold by and sent by Amazon" with free shipping.

Now, to the weird part. It's been a few months that when checking out ( on top of the constant teasing about how great Prime is and why we should rejoin ) on a free shipping order, we are usually given three or four options :

#1 Free shipping, delivery in 4-5 days.

#2 Small extra fee, delivery in 2 days or so.

#3 Bigger extra fee, delivery tomorrow.

#4 Biggest fee, delivery today.

Consistently choosing option #1 consistently results in delivery next morning at no extra cost, which is option #3 minus the payment, it's delivered for free.

Not that there's any reason to complain, but what's going on here ?
