I am an Amazon.Com customer and I DO NOT APPRECIATE Amazon now sending my purchases via the USPS vice UPS!!!!!!!!!!
Used to be Amazon used UPS and my stuff was promptly and quicly delivered to my door with NO HASSLES!
NOW Amazon is in cahoots w/USPS and I have to trek a block up the street and hump my stuff (sometimes bulky/heavy stuff) back home, rain or hotshine!
Why—aside from the $— would a sharp outfit like Amazon want to throw in with the No.1 world-class inept outfit??????????
It’s like obama back in the saddle again—the closest comparison I can come up with @ the moment!

What are you talking about?
The USPS delivers Amazon packages directly to the home.

Really?
I’m rural and use Amazon a lot, as a Prime member. Everything comes UPS, promptly and to my door.
OTOH, I have suppliers that offer Sure Post. One extra day, UPS to my PO and then delivered to either my mailbox or, if it’s too big, to my front door by USPS.
My orders go to my accounts via UPS except for the one that will pay full freight if I ship on their account number via FedEx, because they get a discount.
I ship all retail orders via USPS. With PayPal, it’s just more convenient.
If I sell on eBay and ship via USPS, eBay gives me a discount.
Shipping varies.
Today, an Amazon delivery via USPS landed at my front door. But it was for someone six blocks away. Right number, wrong street. Good ole USPS! I drove it over to the other guy's house. USPS will claim it's delivered; they just won't make sure it's to the correct house.
I have to say, most of my Amazon purchases are delivered by the Post Office and they have never missed a delivery in two years. Amazon is probably keeping the USPS afloat without whom would be gouging deeper into taxpayer dollars.
