By whose accounts? Trust me, they are not making money on Amazon. How could they? They offer cheaper shipping than the market demands and they pay massive amounts of overtime to deliver Amazon packages. Is the USPS operating in the black? No. The amount of overtime alone offsets any revenue generated by Amazon. Only the USPS was stupid enough to make that deal. FedEx and UPS didn’t do it. In fact, the USPS delivers a large percentage of packages originating with Fedex and UPS “the last mile”. Why? Because those two companies save money “allowing” the USPS to do it.
By all accounts. The Post Office, for one. They say that they make money off of Amazon, and have begun Sunday deliveries in some areas to handle deliveries from Amazon and others. They wouldn't be doing that if it wasn't profitable. The law, for another. The Post Office Act of 2006 makes it illegal for the Post Office to charge less to deliver an item than what it costs them.

OK, Mr. President. But it would help if you had some documentation to support your claims.

They haven't been for years and it has nothing to do with Amazon and everything to do with pension funding demands the Congress placed on them.
