No, really?

Of course, that's the problem. I understand that. I hardly thought that they went with them because they were MORE expensive. But it doesn't change the fact that PRIME is supposed to, after all,
deliver the crap to your DOOR. Now, I don't even care that 99% of it gets delivered to my mailbox, which is 1/2 mile from my "door." I
do care that I can't order anything larger than a book, pretty much, or it ends up two-hours-of-travel-and-aggravation-away-from-me.
That isn't even within tossing distance of "my door." It's not even within walking distance, or convenient driving distance. That, to me, is
plainly a contravention of the agreement into which Amazon entered with me, and every other Prime user. And it's nobody's responsibility. Not Amazon ("we gave it to Fedex"), Fedex's ("we gave it to the post office with instructions to deliver it to your door") or the PO ("well, you live in a whatsits area, and we aren't allowed to drive there"). Infuriating lack of accountability.
