If you don't mind the wait, you can save some money. Amazon's standard shipping fee guarantees that your item will arrive within 2 days. However, if you don't mind waiting another day or so, you can choose the free shipping option with no rush. Once your order is shipped, you will immediately receive your order discount or reward in your account.

Amazon defines "no rush" as 6 business days. So if you don't mind waiting a week or so, you can get a nice discount.
