Amazon delivery
Although the holiday shopping season has officially ended, Amazon’s purchases remain strong. If you’re expecting a package, it’s important to know that Amazon is delivering the service on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2020, but is not delivering it on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2021.
It might seem like online shopping would slow down after Christmas, but in fact, it’s as busy as ever with people running out of purchases with money or gift cards. You may be one of the many people waiting for a delivery as the holiday season continues.
Amazon issued a statement to Heavy, which said in part, “For New Year’s delivery, we deliver it on December 31, but not January 1. Customers can find the delivery date for each item at the product details page and back to box “.
Here’s what you need to know:
New Year’s Day is a holiday, but New Year’s Eve is not
Amazon ships on New Year’s Day, but not on New Year’s Day. So if you’re waiting for a package, it could arrive on December 31, 2020. But if it doesn’t arrive at the end of the day, it probably won’t arrive on January 1, 2021. Amazon also made Christmas Eve deliveries, but not the Christmas Day.
Amazon issued a statement to Heavy, which said:

The holiday shopping season has shrunk this year. The time between Thanksgiving and New Year was six days less than in 2018 and the shortest season since 2013. This not only meant buyers had almost a week less to buy (apart from early bird buyers who they started before Thanksgiving), but it also meant delivery services had six days less to deliver a record number of packages, according to USA Today.
Amazon packages can be delivered as quickly as a day. Amazon Prime members receive free two-day shipping on many items.
Some Amazon customers receive packages directly from Amazon, while others are serviced by USPS
New Year’s Day is a federal holiday, which means government offices are closed. However, private companies can open or close as they wish. Some Amazon customers live in an area that still maintains their local post offices. Many of these customers live in rural areas or have requested a package from an outside vendor. All other shipments are shipped directly via Amazon. Some customers receive packages from Amazon via FedEx. However, Amazon canceled its FedEx delivery services for the Christmas season, according to USA Today.
