I have a monthly auto ship with them. My delivery date was for today...Sunday.....USPS delivered it to my door! I was so surprised to see the mailman on a Sunday! That is pretty amazing!

Amazon and the USPS have paired up with a special contract to deliver Amazon items on Sundays!

That's great! I've never heard of Sunday deliveries.....wonder if my mid-sized city is included in Sunday delivery options.....

Wowzer! I guess I'm not totally shocked as Amazon has THE best customer service of any retailer I know.

One thing they do that I like, out here in the West anyway, is use a service (sometimes) called ONTRAC. If I order something on Sunday, ONTRAC picks up on Sundays and, if it's from the warehouse that is very near me, I get it on Monday. Can't beat that!

It is cool indeed. I didn't know that Usps delivered on Sundays either until I got home from church and my neighbor rapped on my door and gave me a package she signed for. Pretty amazing!

Yes, commercialism goes on without any rest in the USA. Sundays, holidays. Ho hum.

I don't see that happening where I live. I went to the PO last week to mail some checks. The outside mail drop had a sign over the slot ""out of order"". I had a dog with me so couldn't park and go inside. How can a big steel box be out of order?

Wow! Good question. That is just bizarre.

I guess it gives people extra hours but I don't think it is worth the $20.00 increase in prime.

You should have taken a picture of that...that is very funny.

I haven't been ordering on Amazon since they raised the cost of how much you must spend to get free ship. I liked to get cds on there but now I have to buy more for free ship, so Ive been going to our local record shop instead and giving the local business our business. Anyway they always did give pretty good service. But Im not paying for Prime soo I will probably only shop Amazon when I have big orders anymore.
