I agree. I ordered a flashlight in december and it was listed as an amazon prime number. It wasn't until after the order I learned it was coming from china. I canceled the order and found another supplier out of california.

Impossible. If it listed as amazon prime, then it is already in the Amazon ware house.

Perhaps you bought from a non-prime seller.
