Need electronics fast but don't want to pay for express shipping? Here's how to get it quickly without overspending.
Fast Shipping Doesn't Have to Cost Extra
You need a new monitor, a webcam, or a router — and you need it by tomorrow. Express shipping options exist but often add $15–$30 on top of an already-expensive item. There's a better way.
How to Get Electronics Fast for Free (or Close to It)
- Amazon Prime: If you're a subscriber, free 1-day and 2-day delivery covers most electronics. Worth it if you order regularly.
- Best Buy free shipping: Best Buy offers free standard shipping on most orders over $35 — and many items qualify for next-day at no extra cost.
- Walmart+ free delivery: Next-day on eligible electronics with Walmart+. Competitive with Amazon on popular items.
- Store pickup: Order online, pick up in store same day — completely free. Best Buy, Walmart, and Target all offer this.
The Fastest Option That Most People Overlook
In-store pickup is almost always faster than any delivery window. You order online, select "pick up today," and the item is ready within a few hours — sometimes under an hour. No shipping cost. No waiting at home.
