Amazon has been doing direct deliveries of some items here in San Diego for quite a while now. I don't mind it at all especially since it means some items are delivered the same day I order them.

I vastly prefer their own couriers to USPS (the increased usage of which has caused me to consider cancelling Amazon Prime multiple times now -- loved Prime when it was basically all UPS here, USPS finds new and interesting ways to screw up my Amazon package deliveries on a monthly basis).
