Best Buy offers same-day delivery

Best Buy is offering same-day delivery to its customers in Oklahoma City.

Best Buy is offering the service — which will be free from now through Christmas Eve (it normally costs $5.99) — for orders placed on the company’s website, bestbuy.com.

Officials said customers can place an order as late as 3 p.m. local time on Mondays through Saturdays and receive the package at their homes or offices by 9 p.m. that night.

Same-day delivery also is available on Sundays, though the ordering deadline is an hour earlier, they said.

On the website, eligible products (there are some size and weight restrictio­ns) that are bought can be delivered to users who select same-day service as they are going through the checkout process.

The deliveries will be made by crowdsourc­ing providers, who will ask customers for a signature on a mobile device when the delivery is made.

If the buyer isn’t home or if the business is closed and the delivery worker can’t find a safe place to leave the item, an attempt will be made by phone to reach the buyer.

If that’s unsuccessf­ul, the product will be returned to the store and the buyer will be refunded his or her delivery charge (when applicable) within 24 hours, officials said.
