  TLDR Amazon is making taxpayers fund their business model by dumping their work on USPS and pocketing the payment.

    Lololol business goes under due to too many customers 👌

    Sounds like USPS should get its shit together.

      USPS isn’t a business it’s a service

        Then maybe the service, shouldn’t promise things it can’t deliver.

    Which is the same thing every other retailer does.

      None of those other retailers are as big as Amazon

  More like Amazon dumping their unrealistic loads on USPS since they have no infrastructure to handle them. The original contract were for 2 big US cities, but now Amazon wants to expand it to small cities without providing the same support they were required to do for those 2 big cities.

    Usps accepted the contract

      You mean the federal government that can be easily bought? And the contract is secret, so nobody knows what it entails.

        Just keep moving those goal posts.
