The news here seems to be that same day delivery is now free in certain metros, for prime members. Amazon has offered same day delivery for a while, they just charged extra for it.
I am wondering if the Prime shipping infrastructure is the cause of this...everything is faster now, and it would cost money to artificially slow non-Prime shipments down, so they get the ancillary benefit of Prime-ish speed.

That's a horrible url. Why not use something like http://amazon.com/news/free-prime-same-day-delivery? Is there some significant advantage to identifying the page with non-human readable identifiers in the query string that I'm not aware of?
Otherwise, very cool. I just wish it was in more areas.
Is there a way to restrict my search to eligible items?

"We sent you a box of (commonly used item) because we though you might be out. Don't need it? Hold onto it and we'll credit your account $2 if you'll drop it off at a neighbor's house when they order it. Otherwise, let us know and we'll pick it up."
Or just make this process opt-in and let your customers volunteer to make some Amazon cash.
