I don’t have prime, but will occasionally make a purchase on Amazon. Any time I do, I have to both click past a “no, I don’t want to start a prime trial, I just want to purchase something” and down in shipping options, mixed in with the shipping options is a “tomorrow+start a prime trial” option that will sign you up for a subscription. There’s also sometimes a “sign up for an Amazon credit card” promo mixed in, so you have to click past several unwanted things to get to the cart.
Although the default shipping is so bad sometimes I’m tempted to start the trial. I have something in my cart right now that has a shipping window a full month out. But if I start my prime trial they claim it gets here tomorrow? That has to just straight up be a lie right? With shipping that late I assume they don’t have the product locally- Or do non-prime members actually get that screwed on shipping?

In my experience in the post tariff world, it’s likely a flat out lie. You will order and get a delivery update 12 hours later that says your item will arrive on time only to be updated a few hours later with a delivery window of 3-5 weeks in the future. YMMV per item.
