It’s a Saturday afternoon and I’m wanting a sports watch with a timer asap. I pick up my phone to place an order with Amazon and noticed there’s not only same day shipping but 2 hour delivery. I quickly checked if they delivered in my area and almost danced for joy when it said yes. I downloaded the Amazon Prime Now app and start browsing.
I found the watch I wanted but the price was less than needed to get 2 hour shipping. Just then I remembered my laundry. I went to the laundry room to move the clothes to the dryer and saw we were almost out of detergent – on laundry weekend! I returned to my phone and checked to see if Amazon Prime Now could deliver detergent in the two hour window. Of course they could!
I then turned to my husband and asked what else he may need before we could get to the store? Hairspray – check. Shampoo – check!
I really wanted that watch and detergent so I checked out. I did notice there was a driver tip but decided to go ahead anyway. At check out it said delivery within one hour was not available so I confirmed I wanted the 6 to 8 pm delivery time. I also said it was ok to leave the delivery unattended at the door.
I forgot about it when the kids started to ask for dinner. Hubby wanted to go out so we left. On the way home, I remembered I placed the order. When we pulled into the driveway I saw the package by the front door. It was delivered by 8 pm.
I opened my treasures, put on my new watch, started the laundry, and handed my husband his shampoo and hairspray. That was way faster than me remembering to pick up supplies which would likely take another 2 days.
Amazon Prime Now with 2 Hour delivery saved the day!
Pros:
- 2 hour delivery
- Delivery in my area

- Delivery Fee
