Amazon Caters to Procrastinators with Free One Day Shipping Offer

By Rachel Cericola

Have a calendar? Then, you probably know that Christmas is next weekend. If not, you may want to think about ordering one from Amazon. Starting tomorrow (December 17, 2011), the online retailer is offering free 1-day shipping on a ton of great gift items.

OK -- a calendar may not be on the "what's eligible" list, but there are plenty of video games, headphones, computers, speakers, set-top boxes, remote controls, and other AV-related goodies being offered.

Of course, Amazon also has plenty of non-electronic items available. That means that all of you last-minute shoppers can do all of your shopping at once, without having to deal with mall crowds or the worry of whether or not your gifts will arrive in time for the big day. Take a peek at the complete list of qualifying products on Amazon:

A few of the headphone models in the Beats by Dr. Dre line are eligible for this offer. Even better, it looks like they are actually on sale. These headphones never go on sale, so getting free expedited shipping is a nice Christmas bonus. The model that really caught our eye is the Beats Studio by Dr. Dre Over-Ear Headphones. Available in five colors, this model boasts deep bass, noise cancellation, and comfort. Our own Chris Chiarella rocked out a pair of these headphones and said, "They delivered more subtle nuances than I'd heard in quite while, be it the sustain of a note, the random squeak of fingers on strings, the singer's breath, the tiny quavers in a his voice: the 'human' aspects of a performance."

For something that the whole family can enjoy, consider a universal remote. The Logitech Harmony 1100 Universal Remote offers a fancy-looking touchscreen that's actually easy to use. It has a customizable, 3.5-inch full-color touchscreen and backlighting. The 1100 also has support for over 225,000 devices -- not at once, of course. That said, it does also allows you to ditch the remote clutter, by controlling up to 15 of your favorite components. This was another one that we reviewed in the past. "It's fun, it's different, and it's guaranteed to be a funky cool addition to your A/V setup," we said.

The above prices are sale prices, making both of these items great gift options for any of the AV lovers on your list. Just know that they are subject to change, so you'd better be quick! Another reason to rush is that the limited-time shipping promotion runs from December 17-21, 2011. To score that shipping, add a qualifying product and select the one-day shipping option. Amazon will apply the discount during checkout.
