Amazon has free same day shipping for many items with Prime in the US.

I see many items newly have an option of Prime Free One Day in US. But its for a selected inventory that have demand.

Only free if you pay for Prime. And it likely means it is in a nearby warehouse to you.

Amazon appears to be intent on attempting to do so, and may even make it pencil out. But it only makes sense if your logistics/warehouse network allows you to be within a day of all/most customers by a "ground" delivery method. Not too many retailers can offer that.
