Apple appears to be testing same-day delivery for some of its products in select markets for customers using the Apple Store app on iOS. First noticed by MacRumors, same-day shipping options fulfilled by the on-demand shipping service Postmates now appear for certain items when checking out with the app.
Not at all in-stock items qualify for the $19 flat rate same-day shipping option, however. The option doesn’t seem to be available within the Apple Store app for all markets with Apple Stores that Postmates serves, either, suggesting the same-day delivery option is being tested on a small scale for now.
Apple recently updated the Apple Store app for iOS, adding support for Touch ID to view order information and 2-step verification for added security. The update also highlighted availability in more countries around the world, but Postmates integration and same-day delivery options have not yet been officially announced.

Pretty good. I likely would use it at work, where the fee is a lot cheaper than having someone take two hours out of their day to pop down to the Apple Store to buy an emergency replacement laptop or whatever.
You can technically already use Postmates for the Apple store, just submit a custom order. I was a courier and my city rep said people buy Apple products all the time using Postmates in San Francisco. Some lady even bought top soil once!
