Amazon is working with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver packages on Sunday, starting in the Los Angeles and New York metropolitan areas.

Dave Clark (Vice president, Worldwide operations and customer service, Amazon): If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can order a backpack for your child on Friday and be packing it for them Sunday night.
