It's spendy, but can be worth it in certain circumstances I spose.

I'm poor so I'll always be doing the free long shipping =D

Wow, that's pretty neat! The price isn't terrible for the convenience. The thing is, I'm about an hour away from Chicago and already get my UPS Amazon shipments the next day. I guess I'd really have to be in a pinch to pay for same day. kinda nice that Amazon Prime members only have to pay $5.99 for the service.

It says "Some surrounding areas" I wonder if that could possibly include me.... probably not being an hour away from Downtown Chicago. :shrug:

Looks like Phoenix will soon have this option as well. It also said, and other surrounding areas. I wonder if this includes Mesa, Tempe, and the like. I have a few friends in Tempe that would accept the deliveries for me, and hold on to them for me.
