During the Christmas season, I noticed a USPS van in our condo development one Sunday as I went out to church. I was surprised they were delivering on Sunday and asked the driver about it. He said they had a contract with amazon.
Personally, I don’t care how my stuff gets here (to the door, by the way), as long as it gets here. If the USPS took the deal with amazon, if it costs them more to deliver than they’re being paid, that’s on them and their business planners, not me.
I must say that the postal system is getting better. I ordered something on Monday from NJ and got it in Illinois on Wednesday. Just plain old 3 day priority mail.
Except that it is on you and the rest of us taxpayers for stupid government institutions...
If you pay taxes, it's on you too.

American taxpayers give an $18 billion gift to the post office every year
