The e-commerce company announces free, same-day shipping on over 1 million items in 14 metro areas across the US.
Over 1 million items will be available for free, same-day shipments -- a fraction of the 20 million available in the US for two-day deliveries. Orders must total more than $35 to qualify. The purchase must also be made before noon, or it will arrive the next day. The service will initially be available in 14 metro areas across the US.

No, it’s separate. Wish they did, but then again Kindle Unlimited has a pretty shoddy selection of books.
That’s the ultimate goal. Consumables in your household will be monitored and replenished without any need for you to place an order. It’s coming. It’s going to be a brave new world.
I haven’t noticed any of that. I have more than paid for my Prime membership many times over using free shipping.
Amazon has “buttons” you can order or you can sign up for a service that will deliver necessities on a regular basis. Love them or hate them Amazon loves to push the limit of customer convenience.
I haven’t used amazon for years. There are much cheaper sites with faster delivery.
Mine either. Doesn’t look like it extends to Westchester Co, above NYC at all.
I wouldn’t know, thanks. Any word on how many people are on KU?
We’ve been ordering lots of appliance repair parts lately and get them the next day with no extra postage and it’s definitely not from amazon. It’s been like the skies opening up and angels singing. Now to find another service than UPS who drops the packages willy nilly without coming to the door anymore.
Interesting. Appliance parts from the big guys is a sore spot with me. $12 dollar solenoid with $8 shipping is just over the top for me.
I am 1.2 miles from an Amazon facility and we are not on the list.....bummer.
Guess it all depends. It takes me most of the day and a tank of gas to drive to the city for a solenoid to save a couple dollars.
I understand. Travel cost(s) has become a key concern here also. Group stops into one trip etc.
I think they charged me $9.99 or so extra a month. I tried it for a little while. I guess it would be a good value to somebody who has more time to read than I do.
