I've had a few of my Prime items arrive on Sunday but haven't been able to detect much of a pattern as to what they'll rush and what they won't. I've received a few kitchen staples on Sunday whereas others sat at the post office another day. And never any movies or books.

Any Prime members receive pre-ordered games on Sunday?

I have never gotten a game early using Prime and I have never had any Sunday deliveries at all.

Hadn't seen this post when I asked whether any Prime members had received pre-ordered games early. Guess I shouldn't get my hopes up but I will anyway. lol

I live something like 20 minutes from a distribution center and have had a few things get here less than 24 hours after shipping. Hopefully The Show ships to me from that facility and they're conservative with their delivery estimate.

I've only had two Sunday deliveries myself IIRC. I didn't know about the policy at first and was flabbergasted to see the USPS truck in my driveway on a Sunday morning. It was a little before Xmas and I figured there might have been some undelivered packages from the day earlier and they had a mandate to get those out ASAP. Didn't seem like the kind of thing the public sector would do though. lol

I have had a couple of games that I pre-ordered on Amazon arrive a day early.

Madden 12

Madden 15

That's it.

I wouldn't recommend anyone hold their breath on this either. It releases the 28th, you'll surely die if you attempt to hold your breath until then.

I love Prime. Typically not for me but saves our bank account with all the crap my wife orders. Seriously, some days I get home and it feels like we're a distribution plant for Amazon with all the boxes at the door.

I have never received a game early from prime. I have pre-orded The Show from them the last two years and again this year. Should be here between noon and 2pm on the 28th I expect...

Probably depends on cities.. I get Sunday delivery quite a bit, maybe once a year I get something early (and I order a lot from Amazon).

Now I just found out in many area's, mine included, they offer 1 day free shipping ($35 minimum). Even same day (Though this is not in my area).
