A TikToker under the username Pretty Little DIY (@prettylittlediy) shared the hack with her followers on December 16. Already, the post has received more than 2 million views and over 97,000 likes.

Next, Pretty Little DIY showed viewers that they’ll be taken to a third screen, where they can choose to “change shipping speed.”
Finally, she claimed that customers will be taken to a fourth and final screen, where they can select “FREE Prime Delivery [1 business day since shipped]” and save the new shipping speed.
“Happy shopping,” she concluded.
According to TechCrunch, orders placed between midnight and 5 p.m. will arrive by 10 p.m. that same day. Anything ordered after 5 p.m. will arrive by 8 a.m. the following morning.
Still, many customers are not eligible for same-day delivery. And many items in the online marketplace are not available for one- or two-day delivery, which is where Pretty Little DIY’s hack might be able to help.
Some viewers said they tried the hack and shaved days off their orders’ expected delivery dates.
“One of my husband’s Christmas gifts went from being delivered on the 29th to the 21st because of you!! And I didn’t pay any extra,” commented TikTok user Stacia Hernandez.
“A life saver. My husband’s Christmas present wasn’t going to be here until Christmas Eve [now] it’s coming four days sooner,” wrote Jordan Moore.
Harmony1979 added: “I think I love you. Just changed delivery from the 23rd to the 18th. Thank you.”
Others, however, didn’t have such luck.
“Not one of my 10 orders gives [these] options and I have prime,” said Amy Lipford-Carey.
Aileen A. Perez commented: “It did not work for me, and I live next to a shipping facility.”
“Shipping details didn’t come up,” added Sabrina Lechnyk.
According to some, the hack can only work on items that haven’t already been shipped.
“I was able to change it on the items that hadn’t shipped yet but the ones that were already in transit didn’t have that option, thanks!” shared Maria Lyon.
