Apple Offers Free Two-Hour Delivery Through Christmas Eve in Most U.S. and Canadian Metros

Orders come from nearby Apple Stores via courier partners, with the usual $9 charge waived for eligible in‑stock items.

Overview

  • The promotion runs through December 24 in most metro areas, with one outlet noting a noon local cutoff on Christmas Eve for placing orders.
  • Deliveries originate from local Apple Stores and are handled by partners such as Uber Eats and Postmates, so the option appears only when nearby inventory exists.
  • Eligible items include in‑stock iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, and Beats, while custom‑configured Macs, engraved products, and most accessories are excluded.
  • Apple states the service typically costs $9 but is free during the offer for qualifying orders, though a Canadian report cites a $13 standard fee in that market.
  • Three‑hour delivery is available in Australia, and Apple’s holiday return window extends into early January 2026, with most reports citing January 6 as the cutoff.
