So don’t accept them. Force Amazon to full create their own full-fledged shipping company, like UPS or FedEx. I’m not talking last mile delivery but full fledged end-to-end delivery. They’re the second richest retailer behind Walmart, the can afford it and will most likely trickle down the cost to buyers.
Considering how hard the mail service has been nailed in modern times I'd rather they just took what they could get.
USPS is doing just fine in terms of volume. They absolutely do not need Amazon's business to remain in the black. The bad things you hear are mostly far right anti-USPS propaganda, they've been doing their best to weaken it for many years
Lemmy: The world is literally burning from fossil fuel and manufacturing!
Yep.
Also lemmy: Amazon's rich so they should just create a gigantic shipping fleet.
LOL wut?
Most of my Amazon deliveries come via the USPS, and that guy is coming by my house every day, no matter what.
If only there were two different people that have those opinions huh, instead we have just one hypocrite
Is that not what Amazon Logistics is? Or is that last mile only?
USPS already took the deal
