To commemorate this significant achievement, Amazon collaborated with college quarterback and Prime member, Michael Penix Jr., in a unique celebration.

The young football fans were treated to the unexpected delight of having their hometown hero at their doorstep just before his big game. The packages, curated with items such as footballs, board games, an Echo Pop, speakers, a waffle maker, a cheeseboard, and Amazon.com gift cards, showcased the diverse range of products available for rapid delivery—ideal for last-minute gifts or holiday hosting essentials.
Penix shared his thoughts on the seamless experience, stating, “Whether it’s preparing for the big game, or enjoying Thursday Night Football, my Prime membership is a key part of my everyday routine. With Same-Day Delivery, between the time the order is placed and the time it gets to your door, each product is traveling fewer miles and experiencing fewer handoffs. If you think about it, it’s basically like a football play, and I’m the quarterback. Fewer handoffs, and less time in between plays to reach the ultimate goal—touchdown!”
Amazon’s Same-Day Delivery milestone underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing the customer experience by prioritizing speed, efficiency, and innovation in its delivery services. As the e-commerce giant continues to redefine industry standards, the celebration with Michael Penix Jr. serves as a testament to the company’s dedication to creating memorable moments for its customers during the holiday season and beyond.
