Check each website as the cut-off times may adjust depending on the various factors on the ground and in the air.

NOTE also that if you DON’T need something delivered this week, Amazon is offering some Prime members discount-y temptations to accept slower shipping instead of Prime delivery. You may even get it delivered relatively fast if the delivery stars align (depending on where the product is, where you are, what delivery services are available in the area, and how many delivery drivers/trucks are available, weather, etc, etc, etc).
