I have no complaints. I have not seen anything out of the ordinary or unexpected. i ONLY see extraordinary service and even Prime delivery when there is no Prime.
Disclosure, though the item wasn't Prime, I am a proud member myself.

I suspect it simply has to do with the USPS optimizing everything they ship. The convenience of online purchases probably made it a necessity (not just from Amazon). Small parcel service did not need to be optimized before, since volume wasn't sufficient. It used to be where I live that regular mail and packages got delivered seperately and most stuff from online came with UPS or FedEX. I cannot remember the last time a delivery truck showed up other than USPS in a long time. Also everything comes in one vehicle, nor more distinction between letters and packages.
