Educational Toy Company Click-A-Brick Applauds Amazon Free Same-Day Delivery

June 15, 2015 – –

The team at educational toy company Click-A-Brick are pleased with Amazon’s decision to enact free same-day shipping in select metropolitan areas for certain orders by its Prime customers.

Amazon announced the free same-day shipping recently for 14 metropolitan areas, saying Prime members who place orders of $35 or more by noon in these areas would receive their items by 9 p.m. that day without having to pay the usual same-day shipping fee of $5.99. The price of Prime membership is not set to increase with the new free delivery feature.

“This is meant to simplify our customers’ lives,” Amazon’s vice president of Prime Chris Rupp, said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. “Some of the feedback we’ve gotten from customers is it already feels like we’re living in the future.”

Click-A-Brick Co-Founders Jason Smith and Georg de Gorostiza applaud the move, saying it will help small companies like theirs who primarily sell through Amazon compete better in a crowded toy market.

“Small companies are always looking for ways to entice customers and if you sell almost exclusively through Amazon, something like this really helps give that added incentive to customers to place an order,” Smith said. “It’s also a great convenience for customers. Sometimes, you need something right away but you don’t have the opportunity to run out and stop at a store. This way you can get it delivered right to your door or get it delivered right to their door. You never know when you’re going to have an emergency when you need an educational toy for someone and don’t have time to stop by a store. It happens.”

Smith said the company had discussed the possibility of offering some kind of free shipment for customers, but it was difficult to make it feasible trying to do it by themselves. Having Amazon step in and offer it site-wide is extremely helpful to not only Click-A-Brick, but all the companies that use Amazon. And the move makes sense for the online retailer, he added, as it continues to expand its reach and grow even bigger.

The Click-A-Brick team is excited that the free same-day delivery will eventually be extended to other metropolitan areas down the line. With the current roll out, more than 500 cities will enjoy the feature with more set to be included in the future.

The metro areas where Amazon has rolled out free same-day delivery are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle-Tacoma, Tampa Bay and Washington, D.C.
