Amazon is hustling to get you your packages.
The e-commerce giant officially launched its one-day shipping free for Prime members, who pay an annual $120 subscription fee for free shipping, streaming services, and other benefits.
In April, Amazon announced the quicker shipping (Prime has come with free two-day shipping since 2005) as the new standard coming soon -- and now it's here. In a company blog post this week, Amazon staff wrote this means last-minute purchases will arrive the "very next day."
As of Tuesday, 10 million products across the U.S. are eligible for the one-day shipping. Prime Now is also available in certain cities for one- or two-hour delivery.

Now the pressure is on Amazon's fulfillment and logistics teams to deliver — and quickly.
