As of last week, if you are an Amazon Prime member, you may now choose which day of the week you want your packages to arrive. This feature is known as Amazon Day and was first used last fall but was a feature that was “invite only.”
According to Dami Lee of The Verge, “Customers can set which day they want their default delivery day for future packages, and change them at checkout later. Items will come bundled in one package, saving boxes and making shipment deliveries more predictable.”
She also added that this new feature is “a part of Amazon’s ‘Shipment Zero’ sustainability initiative, which aims to make all of Amazon’s shipments carbon neutral, with half its shipments being carbon neutral by 2030.” The company even claims that since it began testing this new concept last year, packaging has already been reduced by thousands of boxes.
