Find out about Amazon and your mail delays.
Getting your mail on time is important. You need to receive your bills and send important packages. However, in recent years, there have been complaints about how long it takes to receive mail through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Reasons for the delays vary. Some consumers attribute the delays to the USPS's relationship with Amazon.
Outdated Equipment.
Over the past few year, the USPS has struggled financially. Since 2011, the USPS hasn't been able to get itself out of a financial rut. However, in recent years, the USPS has teamed up with Amazon. With old equipment, the USPS has been working to replace over 180,000 delivery trucks and update its technology, costing over an estimated five billion dollars.
Relationship with Amazon.
Amazon and the USPS have struck a deal that has changed mail delivery as we know it. Mail carriers are showing up at all hours of the night to make deliveries, even on Sundays which was previously unheard of. Also, in addition to sending letters, the USPS now delivers things such as groceries. This relationship with Amazon has consumers concerned about the USPS's priorities, especially when it comes to delays in regular mail delivery service.
Weather Delays.
In regard to recent concern about delays in mail delivery, the USPS has released a statement addressing the issue. They claim that the delays are a result of weather and the holiday rush, and not due to their relationship with Amazon.
