# About Release-Date Delivery

Release-Date Delivery is available for eligible pre-order items we can deliver on the release date to ZIP codes within the continental U.S. Some carriers make deliveries to residential addresses as late as 9 p.m. local time.

Select eligible items and choose Release-Date Delivery at checkout to receive pre-order items on the day of release.

Shipping charges for Release-Date Delivery vary by item and are displayed on the order confirmation page. For Amazon Prime members, Release-Date Delivery is free when selecting Two-Day Shipping.

Tracking information isn't always available from carriers online for Release-Date Delivery. To see if it's available for your order, go to Track Your Package.

In the event of a missed delivery, we'll refund the shipping charge. This doesn't apply if a delivery is attempted but no one is available to accept the package. A signature isn't required for most Release-Date Delivery items, but we can't guarantee whether our carrier will leave a package if no one is available to accept it. If the package isn't left on your doorstep on the release date, your mail carrier should leave a note explaining your options for re-delivery or picking up the package at your local Post Office.

If a service interruption or failure outside of Amazon.com's control occurs, including interruptions to our transportation systems or the services provided by our carriers, the Release-Date Delivery shipping charge refund doesn't apply.

Note: Release-Date Delivery isn't available to Amazon Hub Lockers, Alaska, Hawaii, international destinations, P.O. Boxes, or APO/FPO addresses.
