I Want It Today

All these efforts seem to be paying off. I?m a frequent Amazon shopper, and over the last few months I?ve noticed a significant improvement in its shipping times. As a subscriber to Amazon?s Prime subscription service, I?m used to getting two-day shipping on most items for free. But on about a third of my purchases, my package arrives after just one day for no extra charge. Sometimes the service is so speedy it seems almost magical. One Friday afternoon last month, I ordered three smoke alarms, and I debated paying extra for shipping so that I could install them over the weekend. The $9 per item that Amazon charges for Saturday delivery seemed too steep, though, so I went with standard two-day service. The next morning, the delivery guy arrived with my smoke detectors. I?d gotten next-day Saturday service for free. I have no idea how Amazon made any money on my order (the whole bill was less than $30) but several people on Twitter told me that they?ve experienced similarly delightful service.
