USPS And Amazon Prime

[PolkaHero]

How come I can get packages shipped from Amazon via my Prime account delivered in two or three days but packages from other sellers private or commercial are taking several weeks?

Amazon has strong-armed the USPS into 'performing' for them, like marionettes.
Amazon stuff will even get delivered on Sunday here!

The local mail-carrier I know hates Amazon with a passion.

Preferential treatment, eh? Wish I could negotiate a contract like they have with UPS and USPS for shipping my motorcycle parts.

I drive by one of Amazon's many Fulfillment Centers in the area and it is not uncommon to see a line of thirty Amazon vans at the street light a few blocks away.

That is just one small hub of many they have around my general area.
Imagine nation wide?

Are you able to fill over thirty trucks a day in multiple locations around most major cities?

That is why they get shipment deals. The volume is tremendous and their customers demand their items fast so they make it happen.
They are a profit by volume operation.

Amazon just bought 11 planes to help handle the volume of packages and customer demand.
Amazon buys 11 more jets for its delivery fleet

Nope, I'm in a niche market. Screw the little guy.
