Need it delivered today — not tomorrow, not in 2 days? Here's your step-by-step guide to making it happen.
Today Delivery Is Possible. Here's How.
Whether it's a gift you forgot about, a work essential you can't do without, or something that just broke at the worst time — getting something delivered the same day is possible in most US cities. Here's exactly what to do.
Step 1: Check the Time
Same-day delivery has cutoffs. Order before noon for the best chance of getting something today. Most services cut off between 12 PM and 2 PM for same-day windows. After that, you're looking at next-day at best.
Step 2: Choose the Right Service
- Amazon Prime same-day: Check if your item and zip code qualify. Available in most major metros.
- Target + Shipt: Same-day delivery on thousands of items. Strong urban coverage.
- Instacart: Fastest for household, grocery, and pharmacy items from local stores.
- DoorDash, Gopuff: Convenience items, snacks, and household basics in under an hour.
- Walmart same-day: Available with Walmart+ for eligible items and addresses.
Step 3: Consider Pickup Instead
Delivery has a wait even on the fastest services. If you need something within the hour, local pickup is still faster. Order online, drive to the store, and pick it up — no delivery window uncertainty.
