It used to be that way in my area, almost all USPS Priority Mail from Amazon but over the last few years the bulk of my Amazon deliveries have come direct from their own delivery services. Now all my USPS is only junk mail and medication I get mailed from the VA.
Package delivery is pretty much all the PO has going for it. They even deliver on Sunday now. That started after I retired nine years ago thank goodness (I was a letter carrier). It's amazing how much the internet has affected the PO. People don't mail letters anymore, they just text, email, or fax. As we mentioned very few people mail their bills in and they even receive their bill notices on line. To make it all worse the USPS must, by law, pre fund retirements. I'm not sure how much longer that will last but it's taking any profits that they make.
