Why the delay in shipping?

Most likely they don't have the units in stock. Many retailers save overhead by advertising merchandise they don't have, and then waiting until they reach a certain number to achieve a volume threshold, and then they order product to, in turn fill their orders.

Has OP forgotten about the Corona Virus and it’s effect on businesses? Shipping? Availability? Amazon is behind too. Is OP this demanding with his supermarket? They can’t get full orders either.

Last Wednesday I ordered a plastic clip through Amazon. The clip was $7.99. Shipping was $8.99.
I thought it was next day delivery. It won't be until Tuesday.

It likely is next day delivery. The "next day Delivery" or Prime "two day delivery" starts when they ship it. not when you order it. Deceptive practice or marketing genius?

And all those among us used to near instantaneous receipt of ordered goods are going to have to get used to going back to the old days when you placed an order or mailed somebody something, and it could be expected to take a while to get there.

OP here

I can accept some delay but 16 days and no there wasn't any warning about delays.

I have ordered from Amazon and eBay with no delays what so ever. FedEx UPS USPS are all still working very hard and they are all flying. The delay is getting someone at Camping World to pull the items put them in a box attach shipping label and send to shipper.

OP here,

I went and looked and now I see I can expect delivery July 23rd. That will be 16 days to get two small items.

Marcus care to address this? Why such a delay? Why wasn't I informed prior to ordering about the shipping time?

Absolutely horrible service
