If I had to guess it's a combination of package size and rough handling (in terms of powerbanks) and the desire to ship the latest Macbook or iPhone using the fastest possible method.

Brexit has just kicked in and we're witnessing the effects as reasonably expected. The only downside appears to be initially delayed deliveries. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from restarting prime, but for me, I'll keep ordering and saving money.
