There are a number of different Prime services on Amazon. One delivers in just an few hours or so after order... that service is not available here.

Prime Pantry is a different. Certain products are eligible for Prime Pantry... but you have to order a minimum number of items at once (not sure what the number is) and they all get delivered at the same time in a single box, or maybe a few boxes if you order a lot.

It costs Amazon less to ship because they put your entire order together in their warehouse and ship it as a single item. It sort like the way grocery stores used to operate when the did home deliver... but in the Amazon case the grocery store might be a 100 or even a 1000 miles away.
