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.

I don't disagree. I really wish that Amazon gave you the choice of what deliver service to use.
I ordered a sleeping bag from Amazon yesterday and was notified that it was shipped last night. Expected arrival date - May 29th - June 1st. Dang, It's not prime shipping, but it takes 2 weeks after something was shipped to arrive? What are they shipping it by, thru-hiker?
