Amazon Prime Now, 8:31 A.M. Delivery

On New Year’s Eve, my friends and I were talking about the need to buy new hard drives. In the conversation, someone mentioned about a great deal for a 4 TB hard Drive at Amazon Prime Now. I checked it out and it was indeed a great deal. The most incredible part is that the hard drive was available for delivery on New Years Eve from 10:00 P.M. to 12:00 A.M.; unbelievable it seemed. I opted to have the order delivered the next morning, between 08:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M. on New Year’s Day.

By 08:00 A.M. I received a text that my order is being delivered. At 08:31 A.M., the courier arrived my doorstep and handed me a paper bag with a hard drive in it.

Using the Amazon Prime Now App, I set a $12.00 tip for the courier.

All in all, it was a great experience.

Je suis avec vous, les Parisiens.

There are so many images and words in my head at this moment. Overwhelmed by emotions as I read the horror that unfolded in Paris.

iPad Pro is now available for purchase.

iPad Pro is now available for purchase. At the time of this writing, iPad Pro is available for pickup at Apple Store.

I would get a iPad Pro Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB – Space Gray one.

My colleague is really looking forward to get the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard which both would be available in 1-2 weeks.

Amazon Register to be Discontinued

Amazon:

Effective October 30, 2015, we are no longer accepting new customers. Existing customers can continue to use Amazon Register until February 1, 2016, when we will discontinue to service.

Amazon Register (formerly Amazon Local Register) was launched back in August, 2014 with promotional offer of 1.75% on swiped transactions until 12/31/2015. Amazon promised to deliver EMV Card Reader later in 2015. Alas, that day will never come.

Payment processing business has been proven to be challenging even for Square, which reported of $131.5 million loss on $892.2 million in sales in the first nine month of 2015.

——-

Notes:

37prime uses both Square and Amazon Register. The later is the currently preferred payment processor thanks to its promotional offer of 1.75% transaction fee.

Accept Apple Pay and chip cards everywhere.
