NEW YORK (AP) - Amazon is courting last-minute holiday shoppers by extending its free-shipping deadline by one day to December 19.
Orders over $35 are eligible for free shipping. Last year's deadline was December 18. The e-commerce company says members of its $99 annual Prime loyalty program can order by December 22 for two-day shipping.
One-day shipping for items ordered on December 23 costs $2.99 and up for Amazon Prime members. And same day delivery is available in 12 cities on items ordered by 10:00 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.
Walmart said last week the cutoff for orders with standard shipping to reach homes by Christmas is December 19.
