if statement seeming to be ignored?

[rto]

Java:

import java.io.* class S8E1 { public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception { InputStreamReader input = new InputStreamReader (System.in); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (input); String itemChoice, overnightDelivery; double itemCost, overnightDeliveryCharge, shippingCharge; System.out.println ("Enter the item you would like to purchase"); itemChoice = reader.readLine(); System.out.println ("Enter the cost in dollars and cents (ie. $5.00 would be inputted as 5.00)"); if (itemCost <= 9.99) { shippingCharge = 2.00; } else { shippingCharge = 3.00; } System.out.println ("Would you like overnight delivery? Y or N?"); overnightDelivery = reader.readLine(); if (overnightDelivery == "Y") { overnightDeliveryCharge = 5.00; } else { overnightDeliveryCharge = 0.00; } System.out.println ("Invoice: \n " + itemChoice + " :\t\t\t" + itemCost + "\n shipping :\t\t" + shippingCharge); System.out.print(" Overnight Deilvery :\t" + overnightDeliveryCharge + \n Total :\t\t" + ((itemCost + shippingCharge) + overnightDeliveryCharge));

It doesn't seem to matter if you enter Y or N in the overnight delivery section. either way it seems to ignore this part and automatically set overnightDeliveryCharge to 0.00 dollars.
