Amazon customers can now get their packages on Sunday, starting in
Los Angeles and New York
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 2013--
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is working with the U.S. Postal Service
to deliver packages on Sunday, starting in the Los Angeles and New York
metropolitan areas. Amazon Prime members, who receive unlimited, free
two-day shipping on millions of items, can now receive their packages on
Sunday in these areas. Amazon and the U.S. Postal Service plan to roll
out this service to a large portion of the U.S. population in 2014
including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans and Phoenix, to name a few.
“If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can order a backpack for your
child on Friday and be packing it for them Sunday night,” said Dave
Clark, Amazon’s vice president of worldwide operations and customer
service. “We’re excited that now every day is an Amazon delivery day and
we know our Prime members, who voraciously shop on Amazon, will love the
additional convenience they will experience as part of this new service.”
“As online shopping continues to increase, the Postal Service is very
happy to offer shippers like Amazon the option of having packages
delivered on Sunday,” said Patrick R. Donahoe, Postmaster General and
Chief Executive Officer. “With this new service, the Postal Service is
now delivering packages seven days a week in select cities. Customers
can expect the same reliable and valued service that the Postal Service
currently provides.”
To participate, Amazon customers can simply add millions of eligible
items to their cart and will see the Sunday delivery promise at checkout
when available in their region.
