Prime member here, for many years, and I can't recall the last time I got something from Amazon via FedEx. For me, USPS and UPS are how my items end up getting shipped to me, with USPS being the major method.

Granted, I think I'm near-ish (Madison WI) an Amazon warehouse of a sort, so YMV.

Similar story, in Chicago near a few Amazon warehouses. The stuff I get is pretty evenly split between UPS, USPS & Amazon Logistics. I don't think I've ever had a FedEx prime delivery that I can remember. One thing to keep in mind though is that Rockford, IL is equidistant from Madison & Chicago and a UPS Air hub.

Northern California here and an Amazon item ordered yesterday (Prime) shipped today via Fedex from the Amazon warehouse in Plainfield, IN. It looks like they are doing the usual thing where Fedex delivers it to my local post office, and USPS takes care of the last mile delivery. Amusingly Fedex opened a new depot in my town a few months ago.

Had a few fedex packages from amazon in the Portland, OR area. It's rare, but seems to mostly be saturday scheduled deliveries.
