> Yup, true. But I just wanted to chime in and say that even though 2-day delivery officially doesn’t include weekends, I’ve gotten Saturday deliveries more than a few times. I can’t count on it, since it’s not officially supported, but when I order on Thursday or Friday (and pay for overnight) it’s about 50/50 that it comes on Saturday.

Somewhere on the Prime website, there’s something mentioning Saturday deliveries as possible but not guaranteed. I don’t count on Saturday deliveries but yeah, sometimes it happens.
