Amazon Delivery

I don't order very often from Amazon but used them a lot during Christmas and a couple of times since then. Today my order was delivered by USPS. Have they always utilized the post office? It wasn't a problem and actually came a day sooner than they said. Just wondering.

@grandma2pkmh Yes, they've used the USPS for small items for a long time. This week, I got one of those on Sunday

They used to use usps mostly but now they seem to have their own people deliver their packages. At least where I live that is the case.

I order quite a bit and occasionally I get it from USPS...

The majority of the time, deliveries from Amazon Prime arrive here via USPS, with lightning speed.

Occasionally, I have seen the Amazon Prime's large bluish gray van driving around.

UPS and FedEx also make deliveries for Amazon.

But most of the time, my packages are delivered by USPS.

@grandma2pkmh If the item is from Amazon Marketplace (other seller), it can be delivered by regular mail.

We get Amazon deliveries at least 3 times a week and in my rural city these deliveries are always made by USPS.

I get my Amazon deliveries from all carriers. Depends on what I'm ordering of course. They have warehouse and operating facilities where I live (but that doesn't mean I get things any quicker. Once in a blue moon I can get same day delivery (gotta be up early for that).

I've has USPS, UPS and Amazon deliver items to me. Fed Ex doesn't have a contract with Amazon right now, but the latest news sources is they are going to pick up some slack.

@grandma2pkmh Anymore . most MOST UPS starts here but ends there @ USPS. It's a rarity for me to actually get a delivery from amazon anymore. Although I will say, I do get really small items from the navy blue amazon prime van.

I order a lot (my husband too) from Amazon. I get items from USPS, UPS, Fedex etc and from Amazon directly. Items directly from Amazon uses their own shipping. The fastest delivery is always from Amazon themselves. The fastest shipping I ever go from Amazon (or anywhere else) is same day delivery....ordering in the morning & getting that evening. But that only happens when it's from a warehouse near you.
