Amazon Prime subscribers will be charged $9.99 for one-hour delivery and $4.99 for three-hour delivery. If you don't have a Prime subscription, you'll pay $19.99 for one-hour delivery and $14.99 for three-hour delivery.

Went back to the US last year because my father was actively dying, and it blew my mind that these things happened on a Sunday:

workers in the house installing the oven and ventilation from the work they had contracted

the shops were all open for me to go try and find my dad a food tray so he can sit and eat, they didn't have it so my brother ordered one off Amazon to be delivered in a couple hours, but then forgot to finalize the order so they showed up at 10pm.

Fucking insanity the need for instant gratification/consumerism.

After moving to Germany I really started appreciating quiet Sundays. Stores are closed, hardly any traffic anywhere, people walk around parks, maybe get a pint. 99% of us don't need anything so bad on a Sunday it can't wait until Monday

Who asked for this?

All I can think of is the poor workers who will be abused and rushed like hell in order to make this happen.

Last time I ordered from Amazon they couldn't even arsed to ship my product (their warehouse to courier) within 10 days of ordering it. Even then it came used missing parts listed as new. Get your slop faster now I guess
