Back in November, Amazon.ca decided they were going to begin offering same-day delivery in select cities and on select products. This service, while convenient, was going to run a rather high price tag, with it costing $5.99 flat-fee for Amazon Prime members and a whopping $9.98 for non-members, with each additional item in your order costing an extra $0.99. Amazon.ca has changed their terms for same-day shipping, and are now offering Amazon Prime members, who spend $35 or more on their order, free same-day delivery.
The same shipping fee will be in place for Amazon Prime members who spend below $35, but with there now being 20 million different items qualifying for same-day delivery service I’m sure you won’t have a hard time finding some extra filler items to bump you over that $35 minimum.
Your order will have to be placed before 12pm on the day that you wish to have it delivered, and so far the only Canadian cities that offer this service are Toronto and Vancouver.

So is this only for Amazon Prime Members?
Amazon uses Dynamex to ship same day and it is the absolute WORST shipping company ever. They deliver amazon orders between 2pm-10pm. I placed an order with amazon for same day delivery, and it didn’t show up so I called Dynamex, they said my shipping address was closed for business, which is whack since it was my home address, they apologized & said it would be rescheduled for the following day. This happened 4 days in a row!!!!!!!! I kind of lost it on their customer service department and of course got it that night. I should have just requested regular shipping since it usually gets there in a day anyways. It was by far the worst experience I have had with Amazon. Hopefully they find a new carrier…
