Amazon Who? 10 Retailers Who Also Offer Free 2-Day Shipping
There’s NO doubt that fast delivery is something we are ALL looking for, especially around birthdays and holidays. Just ask anyone who shells out $119 a year for an Amazon Prime membership. But guess what? As I recently wrote, Amazon Prime 2-day shipping is a thing of the past for most of us. And while most websites have the option to get it delivered in 2 days, it’ll usually cost you an arm and a leg to make it happen. With that said, here are all the retailers that will deliver your order within 2 days WITHOUT charging you a penny extra.
Apple.com
Whether you’re ordering a new iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, Apple will deliver it within 2 days.
Here’s how it works.
– Free 2-day shipping is available only on in-stock items from Apple.com.
– The only exclusions are customized Macs, engraved items, and items paid for via financing and bank transfers.
– Delivery to Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico will take 2-5 business days.
If you’re ordering an in-stock iPhone you’ll actually get it delivered for free via next-day shipping.
Just check out your virtual shopping bag as Apple will tell you if your iPhone qualifies.
Best Buy
Best Buy use to offer free 2-day shipping on thousands of items.
But they’ve recently dialed it back and only offer it to My Best Buy Elite Plus members.
Here’s how it works.
– If you buy at least $3,500 annually from Best Buy you’ll get Elite Plus status and qualify for free 2-day shipping.
– No minimum purchase required.
– If you do get this free membership you’ll also get 45 return days instead of the standard 30.
But they still offer free shipping (usually 4-5 day) on $35 or more for everybody else.

Walmart.com
Last, but not least, is Walmart which introduced unlimited free 2-day shipping with no membership fee required a couple years ago.
While clearly an attempt to compete with Amazon, their new shipping policy does require you to purchase at least $35 from the Walmart website to qualify.
But that is a pretty low threshold if you’re buying goods for an entire household.
Walmart also lets you make free returns for up to 90 days after your order is delivered.
