You won't be locked in to whichever day you choose — you can change your day preference at any time.This predictable and less wasteful shipping program does not replace Amazon's current same-day, one-day, two-day, and no-rush shipping policies. You can still pick and choose the most appropriate delivery option for each of your orders.Amazon Day is a new addition to Amazon's wide variety of delivery options, which include same-day, one-day, two-day, and no-rush shipping. Rather than receive each individual order as soon as you'd like, you can now choose a specific day of the week when all your orders for that week will arrive together. Amazon Day makes receiving orders more predictable and less wasteful. You'll know exactly when your items will arrive each week and they'll be grouped together in one box whenever possible, reducing packaging waste. The Amazon Day program is part of Amazon's Shipment Zero initiative, which aims to make all Amazon shipping net zero carbon, with 50% of all shipments made net zero by 2030. Amazon Day is free to Prime members. Most items that are eligible for Prime free two-day shipping and are shipped by Amazon can be ordered with Amazon Day. Since eligibility varies, the best place to see if you can order your item with Amazon Day is at checkout. It's a great option to use if you regularly order from Amazon, aren't in a rush to receive your item immediately, and want to reduce packaging waste. It's also helpful for anyone who prefers or needs to be home to receive their deliveries.How to use Amazon DayWhen it comes time to check out, you'll notice that Amazon Day is now a delivery option below the other Prime delivery options:Click 'Choose Your Amazon Day' and the window below pops up.
