They sent my mailman out with 6 large solar panels I ordered from Amazon, he had to make an extra trip just to handle them in his small vehicle.... it’s nuts!
I have refrained from ordering large items lately, just to spare the poor mailguy... will have to start ordering from suppliers directly I guess.
My local post office as as van for that stuff. You will see them scooting around town like the dozens of Amazon trucks.
My, how the world has changed.
UPS/USPS handoffs seem to vary by location. Out here in SE Arizona, there was a time when UPS began handing off our Amazon pkgs to the local PO. The local carrier would leave a pkg slip and we’d have to go to the PO to retrieve the pkg. It’s a small facility, and you see could thru to back room where their shelves were overflowing with pkgs waiting to be retrieved. But about a year ago UPS stopped using the local PO to deliver their pkgs. We have excellent UPS service out here in rural whiteopia. The local postal employees are outstanding too.
Mine just leaves a note to pick them up at the post office 30 minutes away.
Sometimes I go. Sometimes they get sent back to Amazon.
Sometimes Amazon delivery delivers things right to my door.
