I'm a prime member.

One evening my router died. That night I did some investigating on using my iPhone to look at routers. I found the one I wanted at a Micro Center in Chicago. I live on the north side of the city and planned to go to the store right after work the following day. The store is less than 10 miles from where I work. I get off at 5pm, it is going to take 40 minutes to get there, buy the router and spend another 40 minutes to return home. I'm looking at 7pm before I even open the box.

The next day, in the morning at work, I'm on the computer to reserve the router at Micro Center. I happened to click on Amazon and they had the same router. If I bought it before 9am, I would get the router before 6pm. I bought the router and saved the grief of driving to Micro Center.

I'm home and sure enough, the router is delivered at 6pm and I'm back on line by 7pm.

I don't know how this is done -
