Are you folks comparing the prices of small items against same/similar stuff available offline/locally? For example I got a pack of 10 "gel" writing pens for 300 which is the full MRP coming to Rs. 30 per pen. But in nearby shop for similar pens it's about 10 bucks each I believe.

Also got a pack of 6 duracell AAA batteries for 210 - not sure what it would cost locally.

You are right. Comparing with MRP is very misleading. Nowadays a number of large format retail stores like D-Mart, WalMart (BestPrice) are offering competitive prices.
 
I don't understand what this is about! I placed an order via prime just now and it says to be delivered by August 2nd - 4th!! I didn't get any one day or two day option!

So, what is the use of Prime exactly? :S

@Neo-N One day and two day shipping options are available only at specific pin codes, IINW. May be your address does not qualify for that. Those options come up only for eligible addresses.

I stay at Bandra... That's like the heart of Mumbai. If that's not serviceable with 1 or 2 day option, dunno what is! :|

Also, previously (pre prime era), I have paid for and availed one day delivery. Now suddenly prime trial is free and they do not service my area!
 
I got a shipment delivered in Hyderabad less than 36hrs via Amazon Prime.
But its second best, Flipkart delivered in less than 12hrs, 7am order delivered by 7pm. Yes it has to do with your pincode mostly.

From the same city and still slow deliveries? Strange though. Could be because of the value of the product being less.

I ordered a SD Card (Around 560) which was shipped out from Hyderabad warehouse through 1 day delivery.
 
WTF is this now? They are charging for 1 day delivery even for Prime! Just that it's 50 instead of 100!

So, if I pay 499 for Prime, I still pay 50 bucks each time I want one day delivery? :S

One day and two day deliveries are free, same day delivery costs Rs.50.

In this particular case, 1st August is considered same day as you are ordering after 31st afternoon, the same timelines apply to all websites. So, One day delivery will be on 2nd August if you order by 1st August afternoon.
