Today it was TPMS's for one of my SUV's.

Needed 4. Once in checkout the free same day shipping is gone.

Switch quantity to 2 and it's back.

Order those 2.

Go back and place a duplicate order for another 2.

All 4 will show up today for free.

It's kinda stupid, if you can ship two packages same day for free why can't you ship one?

And i don't think it has anything to do with the size of a single package as I've had some pretty big stuff show up using same day.

I ordered 2 of an item that was "sold and shipped by Amazon" and "prime with free returns" for $170. 2 days later, the same item was now $127. I got Amazon on live chat and said "Can you just credit me the price difference. It'll save you the money of paying for the shipping?" Nope, they couldn't do it, so I processed a return and bought the item again at the lower price. Once the item arrived, I actually sent back the 2 new items that were still packaged and kept the two original items that way there wouldn't be an issue with returning items that had been taken out of the package at least.
