Amazon 'free' delivery

Having made an Amazon purchase last week their checkout display continues to be confusing about signing up for Prime but if one just ‘lets it go’ with standard delivery checked they do not sign you up for Prime unless you tick another box that is presented in a beckoning manner.

What I found interesting is standard (free) delivery for my item was for Friday, but for an additional $7.95 or if I was a Prime subscriber I could have it Thursday. Tracking showed it was not even shipped until Thursday; it was delivered on Friday as ‘advertised’ by a gent in a smart Amazon uniform who required the OTP sent to me for the delivery to happen. Yes, a OTP for a delivery although there was a single alternative ‘secret number’ possible.

Nobody home with the OTP or ‘secret number’ and they would reschedule for the next business day - no post office option offered. Delivery window? [Anytime] Before 8PM!
