During peak times, if free two-day shipping isn't available, Target will offer free standard shipping.

To get a deal that sweet on Amazon users must be Prime members and pay a membership fee of $119 per year.

Target's CEO Brian Cornell said they've been able to cut costs by using their stores as distribution hubs.

These stores will be closed for Thanksgiving Day 2018
