U.S.P.S. is is taking there tracking software into the future

I dropped Amazon Prime last September, I think it was.

And I've really not missed it. I'm willing to wait a little longer for delivery. Maybe a time or two I'd like to have had that one day delivery for one item. But part of the reason for dropping Prime, is that one day delivery did not always happen.

I'm spending a lot less money at Amazon, about half we used to spend. We may be spending the same overall, we're just finding other sources. Walmart is getting better and better, not only with delivery but with competitive pricing.

Lots of truth in this comment...

I think USPS would be faster if they went back to horse & buggy.

We live in a mountain community…it’s 100X worse here than in the city. For at least a year they rotated which routes were delivered. So we got mail every 2-3 days give or take. Packages are routed to one of the nearer “large” outposts and brought Up here By drivers - sometimes in their own cars (like amazon used to). The tracking is totally hosed because there is no system for delivering to the wrong outpost before being driven to your house.

We are happy when anything gets here.

Amazon prime gets things here in a few days or more. It must take 7-10 days without it.
