I haven't ordered from Amazon in a couple of months (my Prime expired about a month and a half ago), and I do not remember specifically if I ever received an order from them on Saturday. But, if I am not mistaken the promise with Prime is "within 2 business (Monday-Friday) days." If a person orders on a Thursday, Amazon would not be obligated to have the package delivered until the next Monday.
However, I've been ordering a lot from Walmart for a couple of years and I can say that I frequently have received parts of orders on Saturday. These are cases like I referred to in an earlier post, where the distance carrier (UPS in most cases), probably on Friday night or early Saturday morning, hands a package off to USPS for local delivery on Saturday. I think that is great that they work together that way. On a package like the one above, that gets a package to a customer two days earlier than it would have if it was handled completely by UPS. Makes them look better, creates good will, and probably doesn't cost them much extra.
