Verizon Wireless Testing Same Day Delivery

Verizon Wireless is Testing Same Day Delivery of mobile phones, if ordered online the very same day.

Verizon Wireless has now started its own pilot program under way now in Philadelphia, and says that it is the first wireless provider to offer a same-day delivery option for shoppers who order devices -- with or without accessories -- on its website. 

Online shoppers in the Philadelphia market may choose same-day delivery when ordering online by 10 am. Monday through Friday with delivery guaranteed by 7 p.m. The cost is $19.99 -- compared with the priority overnight delivery fee of $14.99.

In the near future, Verizon Wireless expects to introduce same-day delivery to additional markets: New York City, Dallas, San Francisco and Pittsburgh.
