Will Amazon Be Delivering in Michigan on Holiday Days

Thanks to my wife, Amazon is thriving right now and constantly delivering packages, we're talking 24/7. We get so many packages that when people ask if I have any hobbies, I say breaking down Amazon boxes.

Amazon does not deliver in Michigan on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day. Not a chance. Those two days are treated like actual holidays for delivery drivers, meaning no regular Amazon vans, no Amazon DSP drivers, no Flex drivers, nothing. Even Amazon’s Same Day Delivery is officially unavailable on both holidays.

So if you’re sitting there thinking a last-minute package is magically going to show up before dinner on Thanksgiving or right as the kids are ripping open presents on Christmas morning, sorry…it’s not happening. You might see vans out the day before or right after, but the holidays themselves are totally off.
