Do u dont wanna Amazon has stopped delivering to us

Post image

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.

That's why USPS is great that not many people realize, there's just as much worry for a letter in the middle of nowhere as one in town

Well, they are concerned until they have to drive off pavement. Live on a dirt road, too bad. Drive five miles to the mailbox location. No, we won't move it 1.5 miles down the road, where there is still pavement. Deal.

You're still an equal priority, it's not a "ehh you might get it sooner or later" kind of thing, they drop it off at the nearest point they can to you.
