Got an email saying it had been dispatched already and it had a tracking number... I checked the number and its been sent on a "One day delivery, next day guaranteed" deal...

That means I get it tomorrow and delivery was free ! Good job I didn't pay £17 to get it a day later !
It likely wasn't Amazon shipping it. You probably bought a listing that was fulfilled by the merchant. When I do Merchant fulfillment on Amazon, usually my package is at their door before my actual ship deadline.

Amazon gives a retarded amount of time to actually ship non prime items. It's like 3-4 days on most things before I'd have to print the label and ship it. Then you still get 24hr for it to get scanned after the label is printed.
