2009_10_15_amazon.jpg Have you ever found yourself desperate to get that last-second present for someone but can't find it in any of the stores? Or maybe you're just impatient? Amazon's here to help. The mega-online-retailer has already rolled out a same-day delivery option for several cities, including NYC, Boston, and Philadelphia, and will soon be bringing the same option to Chicago. It won't be cheap: Amazon Prime members will be charged $5.99 while non-members will have to shell out even more cash for the convenience.

Thanks, Rachelle!
