With the holiday season officially underway, Amazon has expanded its fast, free, and convenient delivery options. From Los Angeles, Calif. and Killeen, Texas to Elkhart, Ind. and Philadelphia, Pa., Prime members across the U.S. now have access to over 10 million items available for delivery the next day for free, including popular holiday gifts such as toys, games, and electronics.
Amazon has also expanded its Prime Free Same-Day Delivery, bringing the convenience of doorstep delivery within hours to millions more members since last holiday season. This is in addition to free shipping on millions of items that all customers can enjoy year-round on orders over $25.
“We know the holidays can be a busy time, especially with 2019 being one of the shortest shopping seasons. Our goal is to make the season as easy as possible for customers and deliver smiles at every turn, whether it’s shopping the largest selection available for free shipping, or getting holiday essentials delivered the very same day, and more,” said Maria Renz, Vice President, Global Delivery Experience, Amazon.
Procrastinators Delight: Fast and Reliable One-Day and Same-Day Delivery.
Amazon continues to roll out ultrafast delivery options to more and more Prime members across the U.S. Members can shop a selection of over 10 million items for Prime Free One-Day Delivery and millions of items available for Same-Day Delivery in 46 major metropolitan areas. These delivery options are not only convenient for customers – they’re better for the planet because the fastest delivery speeds ship from local fulfillment centers so they travel shorter distances and generate the least carbon emissions.
Doorstep Delivery – and Beyond.
Customers can choose to have their holiday orders securely delivered to a self-service Hub Locker in 900+ cities and towns across the U.S., including Whole Foods Market locations, at no additional cost. This holiday season, customers will also have the option to pick up their Amazon packages in-store at one of thousands of Hub Counter partner locations across the U.S., including staffed pickup areas within Rite Aid, GNC, and Stage stores, as well as at Health Mart independent pharmacies. To find a pick up point in their area, customers can visit amazon.com/hub. Prime members in 50 U.S. cities and surrounding areas can also enjoy secure, convenient package delivery with Key by Amazon (amazon.com/key). Members can choose to have packages delivered inside their home, car, or garage to keep them away from the elements or hidden from snooping family members.

With Amazon Day, Prime members can have all their orders arrive together on the day of their choice, making it easy to save surprises for friends, family, and roommates.
