Amazon Prime News: Order on Thursday, Get it Saturday
Got this in my email this morning:
I got a few packages on Saturday a few weeks ago. Nice to know its official now.
Dear Amazon Prime Customer,
We thought you'd like to know that Amazon Prime-eligible items ordered on Thursday* will now be delivered Saturday instead of Monday. With this improvement, you now have an extra day to order weekend essentials and send last-minute gifts with FREE Two-Day Shipping.
*Order as late as 5:00 p.m. EDT Thursday. Check estimated delivery dates at checkout to verify your items are eligible.

Cool. They had charged I think an extra 2.99 or 3.99 if you wanted it delivered on Saturday instead of waiting for Monday..

That's cool; i'll need to keep it in mind if I order something on around Thursday since I usually ship stuff to work.

Pants are always optional.
That's what I'm assuming as well. If you order something at 10 p.m. on Thursday, I don't think you should be expecting your package on Saturday. That being said, I was shocked that I placed an order last week at around 8 p.m. on a Wednesday and still received my order on a Friday. I love my Prime membership!

Free shipping from Amazon usually only takes two days for me anyway, so I've never felt the need to pay for Prime.

Don't recall seeing this e-mail from them. I have been a Prime member for a couple of years now (in fact my membership renews this week), so this is nice to know.

Does anyone know if this is just for the holidays, or if it's a permanent thing?

I didn't order anything this Thursday, but I did put something in my cart Thursday morning just to see what delivery date it would project, and it did project Saturday. So it's nice to know I shouldn't have to wait for Monday at least.
