I've gotten so I actually prefer to see Amazon as the shipper. They've got a big warehouse about 3 hours north of me, and another hub about 1.5 hours south of that, so I see a good bit of free (with Prime) one-day deliveries. I've even ordered Sunday afternoon and had them delivered Monday. End-to-end Amazon delivery is now much quicker and reliable than when UPS or the USPS is in the mix. It is in my neck o' the woods, at least (and I'm fairly rural). I'm actually disappointed now when I see there's going to be a handoff to UPS or the USPS. It almost always means a delay.
