One of my students came in to my office today and announced that Amazon now ships items the same day. I did not believe it at first but after some research, I found it to be true and fantastic news! Amazon does ship items the same-day to certain cities, including Philadelphia, for one flat rate.  Amazon Prime members will pay a lower rate then non-Prime members.  (This should be an incentive to sign up for Amazon Prime.)  Disclaimer: This is just the writer’s opinion.

Amazon announced today that it will ship items the same day by 9pm if ordered by noon. For more details about which cities are eligible, click here: Amazon East Coast & Mid West Delivery.

Happy shopping!
