I hope they do, the Amazon packages I get through USPS are often late. It’ll force Amazon to go with the quicker alternatives.

We live in this Utopia where we can click buy and in 1-2 days we get what we ordered. Yet no one is ever happy. I think we protest a bit much here.

It's almost as if never needing to leave your house and getting things at the touch of a button isn't what makes people happy...

If Amazon retail is barely profitable when using traditional delivery networks, and their own Flex offering is a dumpster fire due to abusing independent contractors, they’re going to have to burn way more cash to compete at the last mile.

This is not a bad thing.
