Why is my expected delivery date showing the 9th december when selling through prime?
For other prime sellers it shows the delivery date as the next day/the day after for the same asin. Do I need to change something on my settings as it doesn’t seem that I can, I am fullfilling the prime criteria by sending 24 hr tracked/48hr tracked but not receiving the benefits of prime?

I tried ASIN : B00M89RLXA
It shows you not to be the lowest price, so do not win the Buy Box.
AMAZON fulfil (FBA) for some Sellers, and they think this item will be delivered 4 December, sold by Footwear Depot at £47.95.
Yours is showing as sold and shipped by you SFP, and delivery on Monday 6 December, cost £54.99
footloose.shoes also show the same price as you, also SFP, and the same Dec 6 delivery date.
Non-Prime another Seller has at £44.99. A later delivery date of 7-10 December.
FBA they think is the fastest delivery, so even if not the cheapest often wins the Buy Box.

Ref 1-day or 2-day Prime SFP deliveries:
Which courier are you using?
It seems to be if you use DPD or Amazon to ship, then most addresses show a 1-day delivery (so if ordering today, even if SFP, then 4 December, Saturday delivery).
However, if you use RM Tracked 24, which may be a lower cost to you, Amz then say many take 2 days to arrive, so those are shown as a 2-day delivery, hence showing Monday 6th, and not Saturday 4th.
You could tick only deliver Prime to DPD covered postcodes and that may alter everything to 1-day deliveries, and you can still usually choose RM Tracked 24 to ship by. BUT, then no Prime offering to places such as NI, parts of Scotland, etc.
So a few choices…

We noticed this a few days ago.
We are in the PR post code area, I’ve noticed any deliveries either to me or from me (SFP) have extended delivery times, 10th December currently.
I couldn’t think why, but I’ve since taken a look at the Royal Mail status page and PR postcode is one of the few they are currently having problems with, worth a look.
We use Amazon shipping, DPD and Royal mail, but even if I change my template to just Amazon Shipping and DPD, I’m still affected by this.
This is all guesswork on my behalf, absolutely not proven that this is the reason, but I did notice one of my competitors in the CW postcode having the exact same issue and this was also in the RM problem list.
