Amazon will actually warehouse other vendors' wares and conduct the sale, pick, package and ship the item. The vendor gets most of the profit but Amazon gets a slice too.
That describes the familiar "Fulfilled by Amazon" listing.
What the OP presents appears to be a situation where the seller ships the goods, and they are never handled by Amazon at all, and the onus is on the seller to facilitate the two-day delivery.
If Simplehuman doesn't get space-time his soap dispenser by Jan 5th, does Bezos come and personally bitch slap them? I'd imagine a smaller vendor would just get flicked if they dare to tarnish the Prime brand.
Only Amazon themselves are allowed to do that.
