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.
