Amazon now lets Prime customers schedule orders for the delivery day of their choice — and it's a total game changer (AMZN)

• In February, Amazon launched its Amazon Day delivery initiative, which lets Amazon Prime members pick one day of the week for all their Amazon orders to be delivered.
• Instead of using Prime's existing free two-day shipping option — though customers could still opt for that if they choose — users can place orders throughout the week and choose their designated "Amazon Day" at checkout.
• There are a number of benefits of using "Amazon Day," for both customers and for Amazon. One of them is the ability to plan to be home on the delivery day of your choosing, which can help prevent package theft.
• 30% of Americans have experienced package theft, according to a survey by Comcast. Not becoming a part of that statistic was wildly appealing to us, so we tried Amazon Day out for ourselves. It proved to be a huge improvement to our Amazon shopping experience.

That can be useful for a number of reasons, and so we worked from home on our designated Amazon Day to try it out. Here's how it works.
