I've seen regular and express for the same estimated delivery day as it depends on the destination location.

Don't believe I've seen $6.00 FREE before.

Bought a rear wiper blade for the Outback on Tuesday. Same day delivery was £0.04 cheaper than next day. Ordered at 14:30, delivered 16:25. I couldn't have driven there and back in that time.

Lets take a look. There was a normal $6.00 shipping in this case you qualified for free shipping. You received free shipping estimated arrival by March 30th. Or you pay $15.00 and it arrives the same time as the free shipping. Major mistake.

Could be free with Prime or 6.00 without. Also could be the 30th is an estimated time of arrival vs. the 15.00 guaranteed delivery on the 30th.

I've seen that several times. I believe it depends on where the store is and where you live. "$6.00 FREE standard" is a mystery to me. Which one did you choose?

My take: $6.00 is the STANDARD Fee but they’re giving it Free.

Amazon routinely defaults to Standard Shipping (at $x) even though the order meets the Free Shipping threshold; you have to click on Free Shipping to get it. Ka-Ching for Bezos.
