Scrambling to get last-minute gifts ahead of the holidays? Apple’s got your back with free two-hour delivery now available on many products — including iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch — in select cities across the U.S.

The promotion, which starts today, is available until December 24. But, as you’ve probably guessed, it’s only available on items that are in stock.

Get Apple products delivered in 2 hours for free

Apple offers two-hour delivery on most products all year round. But if you take advantage of that at any other time, it costs a rather hefty $9. Over the next couple of days, Apple is waiving that fee to help you with your holiday shopping.

The promotion is available on a wide range of products “in most metros,” Apple says. However, it cannot be used on customized Macs, engraved goods, or for certain order types — including those paid for with financing or by bank transfer.

To find out if the item you want is available for two-hour delivery to your location, simply add it to your cart using the Apple Store app or the Apple Store online, then look for the two-hour delivery option at checkout.

Enjoy an extended return window, too

Apple last month also extended its return window for holiday shoppers. Instead of the 14 days you usually get, you have up until January 8, 2022, to return anything purchased between November 1 and December 25.

This excludes opened software once it has been installed, electronic software downloads, and Apple Store Gift Cards.
