the US Postal Service to deliver
packages on Sundays to customers in New
York and Los Angeles and it'll expand
Sunday deliveries to more areas next
year starting with Dallas Houston New
Orleans and Phoenix we don't know the
details of this deal that Amazon made
with the post office but it doesn't cost
extra for customers to get a package on
Sunday if it's ready it'll be at your
door that means if you have prime
two-day shipping you could order
something on friday and get it sunday
and it starts right away on november

sunday delivery to london using its own
amazon trucks later this month keep in
mind it's not for all merchandise when

eligible for sunday delivery this
program will certainly give amazon a
competitive advantage and if it boost
profits for the post office it might
expand sunday deliveries for other
