Our PO in North Idaho has a contract with FedEx (or maybe “had”). I would see PO trucks delivering on SUNDAY or late in the evening and you knew it was a FedEx delivery. Heaven forbid the USPO would work on Sunday.
It was always weird seeing the government regs and unions blocking Sunday deliveries but the same equipment and people can do deliveries under a private contract.
You must really live in the boonies if you have to drive to your local PO to get your Amazon stuff.
I lived in a tiny mountain hamlet in Arizona in the mid 70s for one winter. We had General Post Office service which meant I had to go pick up my mail at the PO — no delivery service in that town at all. I couldn’t get there during the week because of my work hours and one-hour commute each way to the plant and the PO was closed on Sundays, so I was able to get mail once a week. It was nice in those days looking forward to nice letters from family and friends. I miss that.

Post Office delivers on Sundays where I live. I would venture to say I see a post office vehicle on my street pretty much every Sunday.
