As long as I get my package in 2 days I don't care if they ship it to me via homing dove.

The only problem I've had with deliveries have been the ones handled by the USPS.

Have you seen the inside of a mail truck compared to UPS? How often do mailmen leave their truck?

I'm pretty sure Bezos is going to end up buying the postal service. Can't wait.

I had a Prime package delivered yesterday (Sunday) by USPS that I ordered on Friday. So that is more than the others do already. I think the USPS has dedicated Prime drivers or it appeared that way yesterday.

One reason is that I ordered some protien bars a week or so ago via Prime 2-day shipping. They arrived USPS and were completely melted since they were sitting in a mail truck all day vs a UPS van. Amazon replaced them and shipped 1-day shipping via UPS.... they were just fine.

USPS is doing this to save its own arse and Amazon is probably getting some sick tax breaks

frick that. It has been weird going to the mailbox already for the two small things I've ordered already.

Really liked getting those packages on my front step.

I live in a condo. FedEx and UPS will drop packages at our door. USPS drops them off at the office and sometimes come after it's closed and then I'm left going to pick them up. Or the office is closed when I get home to go pick the package up and have to wait another day. Becomes much less convenient.

This is disappointing.

No doubt USPS is getting screwed on this deal
