If you’ve still got gifts to buy for Christmas, know that today is that last day to place an order with Prime Free 2-Day Shipping and still get the item in time for Christmas. Sunday, December 23rd is the last day to place On-Day shipping orders in time for Christmas, but there is a much smaller subset of Amazon items that qualify for One-Day shipping versus 2-Day shipping. Check your local Amazon holiday delivery deadlines here. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K on sale for $34.99 and the Fire TV Cube on sale for $69.99 are still in stock and will arrive before Christmas. The new 3rd-Gen Echo Dot is also still available and makes a great first Alexa device. One is on sale for $29.99, but you can still get a pair for $50. The Kids Edition Fire Tablets are also still on sale, starting at $69.99, but only select colors will arrive by Christmas.

A little disappointed with Amazon. I did let my Prime Subscription expire, just wasn’t using enough of the features (including free shipping)to justify the cost.
I realized last minute that I forgot a few presents(my fault!)Placed the order today, Amazon bombarded my payment screen with notices to “come back to Prime with a 30 day free trial & receive your order by Christmas”
I bit… instant notice of “invalid order, customer does not qualify for Prime Offer”
Order page got scrambled, had to start over. They should have known prior that I didn’t qualify. Oh Well. Live & Learn.
You can subscribe to prime on a monthly basis if you need it for the odd occasion and the free trial isnt an option.
***UPDATE HO-HO-HO*** Amazon came through for me!
I ordered several items Saturday Afternoon (12/22), defaulted to FREE shipping (since I didn’t think I would get them by Christmas anyway) And they Just arrived by courier!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
