Right, and free two day delivery from Amazon Prime must really add to the stress of delivery. Amazon loses around $2 billion a year on Prime, but USPS, etc. still have to deliver in two days.

Also, I’ve seen more and more use of UPS and Fedex SurePost/Mail Innovations where they dump the packages on the USPS for final deliver, further overloading them, which has changed from previous seasons.
Not looking to to get better.
FedEx SmartPost is the worst! Remember this one from FB Chris? This is where it took a package a week to go less than ten miles (by way of Pennsylvania).
Just had to come back to this thread to mention:
In two successive weeks, I've ordered SKB cases from GC, whom I believe ships from the same warehouse in Kansas City as MF.
The orders were placed on Wednesday evening, shipped via USPS on Thursday, and arrived at our little post office here on the Oregon Coast on Monday. Considering the weekend & holiday crunch, that's seems pretty darn impressive - to do it so well not once, but twice!
I'm happy for you. I just wish I were as happy for myself and my customers.
