Those looking to use Amazon free shipping can do so until Dec. 19 and still get their packages by Christmas Eve. Last year’s deadline for free shipping was Dec. 17. The reason behind the expansion this year is the online retailer’s new storage centers and better relationship with shipping services, reports USA Today.

Amazon free shipping may not cut it for everyone and a little extra cash can help a package show up quicker. Those who have missed the deadline for free shipping can pay more to have a package delivered in time. Members of Amazon Prime get free two-day shipping with a cut off date of Dec. 22, USA Today notes.

Several cities are able to get same-day delivery on Dec, 24. Here is a list of them provided by Amazon.

  • Atlanta
  • Baltimore
  • Boston
  • Chicago
  • Indianapolis
  • New York
  • Philadelphia
  • Washington D.C. 
  • Dallas/Fort Worth
  • Los Angeles
  • Phoenix
  • San Francisco/Bay Area
