Amazon delivery problems using USPS

Lot of music to stream for free from Amazon prime also. Yeah, we are hooked on Amazon prime. It is addictive. Go to the store? heck no just order it from your computer or phone and it is here in a couple of days. No shopping, no gasoline, no looking for parking spaces.

Yep I'm addicted. Haven't tried the music yet and thanks for the nudge.

Yeah kinda sucks to have to work on Sundays... especially if you are a big football fan. I am sure it goes a long way paying for the xmas bills though!


I tried Amazon Prime for almost a year now and am liking it. Sometimes things can be found for a little less money on Amazon (not Prime) but the two shipping is nice thing to be able to expect and not wonder when. Also a nice bonus is we are now watching movies/TV series on demand through Amazon Video for free which is part of the deal when buying Prime.

Been wondering about the (free) movies /tv series available with Prime So far have Prime for the 2 day shipping,
we have hughes satellite for our internet and a land line phone... Just always thought that the data (movies ) would use up the data allotment and or cost extra??

The movies certainly will eat into your data allotment. How big is your data cap and how close does your normal data consumption come to filling that out?.. Music streaming uses a bit, but nothing like video.

I have prime, but don't have the data capacity to use their movies.

Just went to Staples for office supplies and Postal Workers are always outside picketing...

Inside is a post office counter... just like small towns where you would find them in hardware or drugstores...

I guess the problem is Staples is corporate america.

The signs say the Postal Service is Not for Sale...

Zombie I 'am a rural mail carrier. The carriers are not redelivering screw ups!! They are delivering packages only on Sunday! that came in Sat afternoon! Since I'm on a rant. It is not the easy job that some people think. The complainers should do the job one time To see what is involved. thanks for your time. little K

We have always had the best letter carriers for decades...

About 10 years ago it changed.... always someone new... one day mail at 10 am and then next at 5:30 pm

All of the mail drop boxes in the area have been removed... big and small.

The post office is now a Plexiglas fortress...

At least once a week we get mail for several streets over with the same house number and they get ours...

Maybe I have been around too long... the problem is I know it can be better because I have experienced it...

I suppose I should have put a winkie face after my post, but I haven't figured out how to do that on my phone yet. It was a sarcastic reply, I too have seen usps doing sunday deliveries. Seems like quite the outreach to serve the customer better. Kudos to em. I'm sure there's a lot involved in the job. There's lots in my job that general public doesn't know about. Does that mean that it's ok to screw up over and over and over like the postal service seems to? If you can't do your job correctly, or at least get better at it, maybe that's just not the line of work to pursue. Don't take it as an attack on you personally, you might be a wonderful carrier, and if that's the case, I wish mine were the same as you. Hopefully your not as lousy as my carrier, or the one that was before her. Of course any industry is going to have it's good and bad employees, and this is just a forum where some people have been sharing their frustrations. Along with all the crappy service that's been described, there's also lots of untold stories of carriers going above and beyond, some people see in the carrier making an extra effort to get the package to the door. Or, maybe they don't see it with the guy loading the trucks and stopping the driver from leaving while he gets the last package squeezed on. Then on the other hand, how many videos are out there of toss and drop deliveries? Goes both ways.
