our deliveries are not regular.
orders of same items are separated and delivered separately
sometimes post office delivers amazon, sometimes ups.

Well, FedEx is uniquely (and poorly) situated in this delivery on demand economy. You may be getting orders broken up and delivered by different carriers because they are coming from different fulfilment centers, or for weight cost/benefit they are broken up into various size boxes. Then a computer determines the most efficient way to deliver each box.
FedEx is poorly situated because they don’t have a strong relationship with 3rd party fulfillment centers or with Amazon; while UPS has a much bigger fleet and the USPS has the biggest fleet in the country - the only service that picks up and delivers to every address in the country 6 days a week (and in many areas now, 7 days a week mostly for Amazon). FedEx used to get to cherry pick the most premium, important packages. The volume of money is in the parcels and FedEx doesn’t have the infrastructure to do the pickups or do the rounds for drop-off like UPS/USPS does, so they don’t get the business.
“orders of same items are separated and delivered separately
sometimes post office delivers amazon, sometimes ups.”
That’s nothing new around here.
