Amazon Deadlines for Christmas

Amazon has a variety of deadlines for Christmas purchases.

+ Friday DEC 22 is the last day for the usual 2-day Prime shipping

+ Saturday DEC 23: for some areas, this is the last day for Prime 1-Day shipping. Minimum order of $35 is needed for this option

+ Sunday DEC 24: for other areas, this is the last day for Prime 1-Day shipping. Minimum order of $35 is needed for this option. Ends by 9:30am local time (or earlier, varies by region), so this is for very early orders (or late night Saturday orders).

+ Sunday DEC 24 by 9:14pm local time (or earlier, varies by region): PRIME NOW deliveries, Prime members only. Minimum order amount required (varies by region).

+ Monday DEC 25: gift cards and other digital purchases

It is important to note that for local deliveries (Prime NOW, 1-Day Prime shipping) the items of interest must be in-stock at a local/regional facility, otherwise there isn’t enough time to get to you in time.

The shopping cart will give you a more accurate estimate when you are about to place an order. There are many variables in play, so the above deadlines are only a guideline/estimate.

Amazon $5/$15+ Book Coupon extended to Friday 3am ET

If you haven’t used this coupon yet, and haven’t found time to shop for books you want/need, fear not! Amazon has yet again extended the deadline of their $5 off physical book orders of $15+, sold and shipped by Amazon itself until Friday 3am eastern. The coupon code is the same, enter BOOKGIFT17 in the shopping cart. Calendars and other things that are filed under “Books” may also be eligible (eg audiobooks on CD ~ YMMV – the shopping cart is the ultimate decider on what qualifies).

Strategically this is good for books that have the same prices everywhere, or rarely go on sale. Some places to look for ideas:

+ Best Seller Lists

+ Photography Best Sellers

+ then drill down the sub-categories on the left-hand side, eg Black and White Photography or Digital Photography

+ those categories have sub-categories for further drilling down, eg Editing or Flash Photography
