Before I begin, this is not a pitch for Amazon. The reality is that I would be lost without it sometimes. Plus, if you go with a Prime subscription, you get free two-day shipping and other cool benefits. And as of yesterday, free same day shipping is available in select Monmouth County locations.

Basically if you have a Prime membership and purchase something on Amazon that is at least $35 in the morning, it will arrive at your door by 9 p.m. the same day. If you make that same purchase in the evening, you receive free one-day shipping.

This is not available to all of Monmouth County...yet. You can enter your zip code on their website and find out. However, people in Freehold, Manalapan, Wall and Marlboro have told me that it is working for them.

Is same-day shipping available in your town? Have you tried it yet? Let me know in the comment section below.
