I haven't tried it yet because I don't have $60 worth of stuff to order.

No tax (in my state) and free shipping. One only per FB account. Charcoal sold out but Heather Gray and Sandstone available. Just ordered Heather Gray for listening to Audible as my Googley devices don't do that.

Great price, if you do Facebook.

There have been a ton of free things on Facebook over the years. So while the privacy concerns and other problems are legit, I’d recommend any deal creature have at least a blank/fake account for all the freebies.

Today is the last day to get Amazon orders in time for Christmas with Prime Free 2-Day Shipping

If you’ve still got gifts to buy for Christmas, know that today is that last day to place an order with Prime Free 2-Day Shipping and still get the item in time for Christmas. Sunday, December 23rd is the last day to place On-Day shipping orders in time for Christmas, but there is a much smaller subset of Amazon items that qualify for One-Day shipping versus 2-Day shipping. Check your local Amazon holiday delivery deadlines here. The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K on sale for $34.99 and the Fire TV Cube on sale for $69.99 are still in stock and will arrive before Christmas. The new 3rd-Gen Echo Dot is also still available and makes a great first Alexa device. One is on sale for $29.99, but you can still get a pair for $50. The Kids Edition Fire Tablets are also still on sale, starting at $69.99, but only select colors will arrive by Christmas.

Besides the above, I heard a brief statement on the radio that "regular mail will continue during the government shutdown, but not other things". So I don't know if packages are being delivered. I ought to know by the end of today, as I have a package they told me about yesterday, due to arrive today. We shall see.

NORAD to track Santa and USPS to deliver packages despite partial shutdown

Not even a government shutdown can cancel Christmas for kids eagerly tracking his progress around the world and awaiting presents in the mail.

Presents are also still on their way to children and families across the nation, according to the U.S. Postal Service.

In a tweet on Saturday, the postal service said it also would not be impacted by the government shutdown.

"All Post Offices will remain open for business. Because we are an independent entity that is funded through the sale of our products & services, and not by tax dollars, our services will not be impacted by a gov't shutdown," the service tweeted.

Black or White available. These things are addictive! Love controlling my audible playback with voice on my $20 3rd Gen Dot so had to pick up a white 2nd Gen from this deal. Same conditions and warnings apply.

I used to buy stuff from Daily Steals a couple years back and they were OK to deal with. This deal is only through Facebook, it's not on their own website. Looks legit to me, but used Paypal for payment as it's easy to get refunded for shady deals.

Edit: Once transaction is confirmed, it's a good idea to go into your Facebook settings and REMOVE whatever payment method you used, as that is saved by default for future purchases. You know, just saying...

I just removed the sticky for this thread. Resume posting all hardware deals in the Tablets, eReaders, Media Players thread.

You can still post Black Friday experiences in this thread.

Oh, and Happy New Year, y'all

Don't get me wrong, still good value, but hulu has really changed.

Hulu announced Tuesday that its subscriber base jumped 48% in 2018. Median age = 32.
