Here in the UK amazon offers next day delivery (and in same cases, same day delivery), and often delivers next day even when they don't claim they will.
The U.S. has next day and same-day delivery from Amazon, as well. It also has two-hour delivery in most cities.
But not every item is available in every delivery window. And not all delivery windows are available in all locations.
One of the advantages of living in a small country like the U.K. is that it's much easier to cover the whole territory. (U.S. is 40x larger than U.K., with 1/8th the density.)
Even though it's habitual for euro-HNers to compare themselves to the U.S., it's more often than not meaningless.
