Everyone on Your List, Both Naughty and Nice
Delivery on Your Terms: To Your Doorstep, the

With the holiday season officially underway, Amazon (NASDAQ:
AMZN) 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.
Save the Surprise with Amazon Day. Prime members who
don’t want to spoil the surprise by having their package arrive on
a day when their loved ones are home can use Amazon Day for their
holiday purchases. 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. Amazon
Day is free to Prime members and available on most items that are
eligible for Prime delivery and are shipped by Amazon. Customers
can learn more at amazon.com/amazonday and select a personalized
delivery day at checkout.
Free Ultrafast Grocery Delivery with Prime. Now Prime
members get free and fast grocery delivery from Amazon Fresh and
Whole Foods Market. Selection includes meat, seafood, produce,
snacks, and household essentials, with options for fast one- and
two-hour delivery windows. Prime members who live in one of the
more than 2,000 cities and towns where grocery delivery is
available can request an invitation to shop Amazon Fresh or Whole
Foods Market delivery and can learn more at amazon.com/grocery.
