How to Score Last-Minute Gifts with Amazon Same-Day Delivery

Stuck for present ideas with Christmas just around the corner? Don’t panic! Amazon Same-Day Delivery can be your holiday hero. Here’s your quick guide to snagging awesome gifts and getting them to your loved ones in record time:

1. Hunt for Same-Day Heroes:

• Look for the badge: As you browse Amazon, keep an eye out for items marked with “Prime FREE Same-Day” or “Today.” These are your same-day delivery superstars!
• Filter your search: Head to Amazon’s dedicated Same-Day Delivery page (click here) and browse by category, price, or even retail store. This makes finding that perfect last-minute present a breeze.

2. Build Your Same-Day Squad:

• Minimum threshold: Make sure your cart hits the minimum order amount for free same-day delivery. You’ll see this clearly displayed, so aim for that target!
• Mix and match: Don’t worry if you can’t fill your cart with just one category. You can combine eligible items from across electronics, kitchen, home, beauty, and more to reach the threshold.

3. Checkout like a Champ:

• Prime perks: If you’re a Prime member, Same-Day Delivery is on them for orders above the threshold. Just select it at checkout and bask in the free-delivery glory.
• Non-Prime options: Fear not, non-Prime friends! You can still enjoy same-day delivery for a flat fee of $9.99 per order.

Bonus Tips for Same-Day Success:

• Time is of the essence: For same-day delivery by 10 p.m., aim to order in the morning, typically before noon. The earlier you click “buy,” the faster your gift gets there.
• Weather and events: Keep in mind that Same-Day Delivery availability might be affected by weather, local events, or traffic. Plan accordingly and have a backup option in mind, just in case.
• Program details: Always check the program terms and details for the latest information on minimum thresholds, fees, and availability in your area.

With these tips and tricks, you’re ready to conquer last-minute gifting with Amazon Same-Day Delivery. Go forth and spread holiday cheer, one perfectly timed present at a time!
