At the start of this year I signed up for Amazon Prime for the delivery benefits. I should have read the fine print. This was before AP went up in price.
I have a USPS box, which I have had for nearly fifteen years. Almost everything I get on a regular basis that I cannot receive electronically is directed to this box because residential delivery has been a nightmare for the same amount of time.
Before subscribing to AP, we always had Amazon ship to the box. A lot of times this meant the seller (usually Amazon itself) would use FedEx Smartpost, which meant the last mile is handed off to the USPS.
Now with the Two-Day free shipping everything is shipped by USPS, but cannot get two-day benefit to a USPS box. No, not an anomaly, but an Amazon policy.
If product sold by Amazon leaves Amazon by USPS anyway, why can it ship in two-days to my home but not a USPS box? Confused.
