NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — Haven't had time to shop for the holidays? Or are you just simply a procrastinator? Lucky for you, Amazon has extended it's free-shipping deadline.
Amazon extended its free-shipping deadline by one day--to Dec. 19.
Orders over $35 are eligible for free shipping. Last year's deadline was Dec. 18. The e-commerce company says members of its $99 annual Prime loyalty program can order by Dec. 22 for two-day shipping.
One-day shipping for items ordered on Dec. 23 costs $2.99 and up for Amazon Prime members. And same day delivery is available in 12 cities on items ordered by 10 a.m. local time for $5.99 per shipment.
Retailers are hoping to avoid shipping snafus that occurred last year while at the same time getting the last-minute online shoppers dollar.
Wal-Mart said last week the cutoff for orders with standard shipping to reach homes by Christmas is Dec. 19.
