Saw a post that said to the tune of like $1Ms/day.
“Amazon ships an average of 608 million packages each year, which equates to (an estimated) 1,600,000 packages a day. That’s a lot of cardboard boxes, even when we consider some of the packaging used may be padded envelopes.”

It’s good business to have liberal friends where gov’t has spent money building an infrastructure.
The liberals make certain that other liberals prosper.
A nightmare for the rural mail carriers.
Not as good of a gig as it used to be.
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!

I use Amazon Prime so all my orders are shipped UPS where I live. Didn’t realize Amazon made such huge use of the postal service, which has been very reliable from what I’ve noticed on packages I receive via USPS.
So when Amazon starts shipping by drone the US postal system may finally go out of business.
I guess UPS couldn’t swing the same sweet kickback deal, as USPS could... with OUR tax dollars!!!
This is an outrage. Bezos - of ALL people - doesn’t need a subsidy.
So, get your orders in now....?
Much depends on where you live, many of our Amazon orders are delivered by a private company not USPS or UPS.
I frequently receive same day delivery brought by the USPS.
I don’t care how it’s shipped just keep it cheap.
It is kind of nifty to get stuff delivered on Sunday.
People are such sheep ….. They can be otherwise straight shooting American patriots , even Trump voters ….but when it comes to ordering things that THEY WANT ; there they are hitting the ORDER button on Amazon .
I used to be one of those people . Sooo convenient , so easy ….so ‘ all in one place’ …. NOW = you could not pay me to order one damn thing from Amazon.com . Or any of it’s vendors. Zero , nothing , nada . There comes a time when we MUST draw a line . No matter how it impacts our ‘convenience ‘ F ‘convenience’ !
DO THE RIGHT THING and BOYCOTT AMAZON

To commenters who do not care how there packages are delivered:
USPS loses $5 billion dollars a year.
Guess who makes up the shortfall.
I stopped buying from amazon almost a year ago.
Also stopped using Facebook.
I won’t give clicks or money or further positive attention to those greedy people, same goes for starbucks, you can’t pay me enough to buy or put money in the pockets of any of them.
Could the USPS be delivering for marginal cost and not really losing money on the deal? With fewer letters bring mailed they are in survival mode.
