Red cups are now at Starbucks and Christmas car commercials are starting to air, so it must be holiday shopping season. I’m here to help make your holiday gift planning a little easier by filling you in on some of the new Amazon perks (for both Prime and non-Prime members). Plus, discover other stress-relieving holiday shopping tips.
#1: Free Next and Same-Day Shipping for Prime Members on More Items
According to a press release, Amazon has expanded next-day Prime shipping to include over 10 million items, and same-day shipping to millions more.
Don’t have Prime? Sign up for a 30-day free trial here and get your holiday gifts delivered the same day for free before the holidays.
#2: Choose Your Delivery Spot
This holiday season, you’ll be able to choose (for free) to have your packages delivered to a self-service Hub Locker or to a pick-up point at stores like Rite Aid, GNC, and more. Click here to find a secure location near you.
#3: Black Friday Deals Have Already Started
Did you know Amazon already has thousands of Black Friday deals live? You can shop here by department category.
#4: Don’t Like Shopping Online? Amazon Is Launching Pop-Up Stores Nationwide
For those who prefer to shop at a physical store, head to an Amazon 4-Star, Amazon Go, Presented by Amazon, or Amazon Books location.
#5: Curated Holiday Gift Ideas and More
Check out Amazon’s curated holiday gift guide page. And if you’re stuck on what to give, give the gift of a Prime Membership.
#6: Target’s Answer to Amazon Prime
Amazon isn’t the only one in the free-shipping game. Target is offering free, two-day shipping on thousands of items. Walmart is offering the same. Be on the lookout for other retailers that will match Amazon’s deals and free shipping offers.
