Is that a new announcement? If I order before (I think) 8pm I'll almost definitely get the order next day. In the UK if that helps any, Midlands

New for the entire US (some areas/cities already had it). Not sure about this article, but another article about the announcement that I read mentions that the UK has already had free one day delivery for a while.

Ah gotcha. Yeah it'd make sense that the US has had a harder time rolling it out, being that the entirety of the UK can fit into many of the states!

I'm not used to us getting things before the US I guess :)

In the UK I find that most stuff can be ordered as late as 11pm for guaranteed next day delivery. Some cities get the same day delivery too(without using Prime Now).

I think they're extending that. The one day service has been available in some areas already depending on proximity to their distribution centers.
