Amazon.com announced that it is going to start offering same-day shipping just in time for the upcoming holiday shopping season.The service, dubbed Local Express Delivery, will only be offered in select markets though--so if you live in San Francisco you can put away the confetti. You'll still be using the traditional shipping methods. Sorry.
Basically, in order to be able to meet a same-day delivery commitment Amazon can only really offer the service in large markets within a reasonable distance of a distribution hub. Amazon.com is implementing same-day service in New York, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Boston, Washington DC, and Seattle. There are plans to add Chicago, Indianapolis, and Phoenix in the near future.
