2. At least for us, we generally recognize our UPS & USPS folk that deliver to our house.

I would not recognize the Amazon subcontractors that visit my house/office. They are optimizing for least cost.

Yeah, Amazon seems to use a mix of USPS, FedEx/UPS, and private couriers. And because I'm in a townhouse complex with remote mailboxes, I wouldn't recognize any of them.

Article specifically says this is restricted to Amazon Logistics delivery. No subcontractors.

I regularly get deliveries from Amazon Logistics. It’s always a random person in their own car, no uniform. Indistinguishable from an Uber or Postmates driver.
