## What Jamie wrote

Hard to know what the best choice is here. It makes sense to prioritize, but the amount of the delay for other products seems **far greater** than one would have assumed. I could see going from Prime 2-day to something like 4 or 5-day. But months seems exceedingly long for other items. 

> For Amazon merchants who sell in categories outside of the ones Amazon currently deems essential, the delivery delays could be problematic.

That is an understatement. If your product is deemed non-essential, regardless of the consumer demand to buy it you are getting nothing.
