Amazon: Specify desired date - so it is possible

If you are not too flexible in terms of time for package acceptance, Amazon gives you the option to specify a desired date. Our guide shows how it works and what to look out for.

With a desired date, you limit the delivery time to a manageable time window.

Because of services like Prime, the path to convenient online ordering is shorter than ever. However, this can lead to organizational problems.

Amazon: Specify desired date during the ordering process

The process is not complicated:

1. Start the order completion as usual, after the products are in the shopping cart.
2. In the course of the delivery details, you can specify the desired date. This concerns both the day and the time.

This option costs 2.99 euros per delivery. Keep in mind that the desired date delivery is not available for all orders, as this depends on the product and shipping location or dealer. Your own location also plays a role: in large cities, desired dates are available from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm. Residents of other places can still fall back on the evening delivery from 18 to 21 clock.
