If there is both pay shipping and free shipping, the free shipping is going to suck more.
I think they started losing money, or profits had fallen a lot -- read articles? No doubt they cut back on staffing to save money.

Same here. Sometimes it gets there two days later, sometimes it's over a week. If time is of essense, pay for shipping.
I usually never need anything in a hurry if I'm ordering it from Amazon. If it was that important, I would have gone to a bookstore instead.
