Expedited delivery includes Saturday delivery; it seems to be a First Class+ arrangement with people other than just Royal Mail. So I'd guess that anything leaving them by late Friday has a very good chance or arrival on Saturday. And as has been remarked by myself and HarryT, even if it doesn't leave Amazon until very late this evening, it could still arrive on Friday.
From babyd's conversation, it sounds like they are trying to get everything
out by Friday; admittedly one day later than hoped for, but my impression is that everyone then gets free delivery. So if you'd ordered with Super Saver Delivery you may well get it faster than you would otherwise.
Whilst Amazon's communication could have been a little better (a message on the order page and in the email about what is happening), I think what they are doing is very reasonable -- free delivery to compensate for a delay that many companies would say wasn't really a delay.
(I wonder if the shipment arrived a day or two late and threw their plans completely out. After all, much as it grieves me to say it, they couldn't stop their normal Amazon service just to get the Kindles out....)
