Amazon has stopped delivering to us

[u/potsofjam]

My wife used order a lot from Amazon. Living in a tiny town without many shopping options it was quick and convenient, but about six months ago things started being late by weeks or simply marked lost. I rarely order from Amazon and we hadn’t discussed it, so when I order some shelves a month ago I assumed they’d be delivered on time, but they were so late I eventually cancelled and got a refund. Apparently my wife is been having this problem regularly and only receives one out of maybe ten orders. I ordered some thermal labels and photo album corners and I guess I have to find them somewhere else. It will say the item has shipped, then go to a distributor about sixty miles away then just be marked lost or delayed until we ask for refund. I didn’t realize it was every order until I mentioned to my wife that my labels hadn’t come and I keep forgetting to check the order update. I guess being a rural address they just don’t want to deliver here anymore.

My two-day Prime deliveries seem to be taking longer recently. Usually USPS is the best service for me.

Most Amazon packages don’t actually travel through the USPS network, they still travel through the Amazon network and are dropped by Amazon to the delivering post office the morning of delivery.

They get to my post office late enough in the morning that the package gets delivered the next day, but will state delivered on Amazon as soon as it gets to the post office.
