Amazon.com is working with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver packages to Amazon Prime members on Sunday, starting in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas. Amazon and the U.S. Postal Service plan to roll out this service to a large portion of the U.S. in 2014, including Dallas, Houston and Phoenix, to name a few. “If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can order a backpack for your child on Friday and be packing it for them Sunday night,” said Dave Clark, Amazon’s vice president of worldwide operations and customer service. “We’re excited that now every day is an Amazon delivery day, and we know our Prime members, who voraciously shop on Amazon, will love the additional convenience they will experience as part of this new service.” “As online shopping continues to increase, the Postal Service is very happy to offer shippers like Amazon the option of having packages delivered on Sunday,” said Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO of the U.S. Postal Service. “With this new service, the Postal Service is now delivering packages seven days a week in select cities. Customers can expect the same reliable and valued service that the Postal Service currently provides.” To participate, Amazon customers can add eligible items to their cart and will see the Sunday delivery promise at checkout when available in their region.
