I'm not in the US, but friends there tell me that Home Depot routinely delivers from the local store within a few hours.
(Here, unfortunately, their web site is useless crap.)

Walmart / Home Depot / Lowes / Kroger are generally going to beat Amazon on quickest delivery for most people for most items, if they want to, by virtue of their local brick and mortar footprint.
One reason I imagine Amazon pushed so hard for short delivery times was knowing eventually their legacy peers would leverage this against them.
Not to mention a long delivery time gives people more opportunity to simply go to the store and get something, while they’re out running other errands.
I live in a well populated suburban area. If I’m willing to actually leave my house, I can get most things much faster than Amazon can deliver them. This also helps keep those local businesses running, so shipping doesn’t become the only option in the future.
