The only problem I've had with Amazon are the "Prime" items that don't actually ship right away. I've even had Prime items that shipped from china (taking six weeks to get here).
I'm not sure why this happens, but sometimes a "free shipping" item from a marketplace seller will pop up when I click on a link to an item that has the "Prime" logo on it and the actual "Prime" product link will show up in a sidebar instead of as the featured product.
I expect that's what happened to you and you completed the purchases without noticing the lack of "Prime" two-day shipping.
Alternate theory: Some "Prime" items have notices just under the item descriptions indicating that they won't ship for x number of weeks. Possible that you didn't notice one of those messages?
