‘Amazon Day’ Lets Prime Customers Choose Their Delivery Days

An Amazon Prime subscription is worth it if you shop on Amazon’s platform regularly, where you’ll get access to faster and free shipping. However the problem is that sometimes you might not always be at home to receive your packages, and short of using Amazon Key where Amazon delivers directly inside your home, there weren’t many options available when it comes to choosing your delivery times.

The good news is that according to CNET, Amazon has since launched what they are calling “Amazon Day”. This is a new delivery option for Prime members in the US where according to Amazon, this allows customers to pick a specific day of the week for their shipments to arrive. This means that if you know that you’ll be home on a Tuesday, you can pick that day and the delivery should arrive on that day itself.

This means that users can also collate all their purchases made during that week into a single day of shipping, which in turn helps to reduce the amount of boxes/packaging needed since they’ll be combined, and also lets you schedule deliveries to suit your time, like if you have certain days during the week that you’ll know you or someone else will be at home.

In a statement made to CNET, Amazon spokeswoman Kristen Kish said, “We’re excited to be testing a new service aimed at making the delivery experience more convenient for customers.” Note that this new delivery option is still in the invite-only phase so not all Prime customers will see it yet, also the regular one-day, two-day, or no-rush shipping options will still be available in addition to Amazon Day.
