> I dislike when Amazon uses USPS to deliver my packages. Usually the package will arrive in the 2 days like expected but it goes to my local USPS office which will deliver the package the next day.

Before I moved West I lived in Harlem, and the USPS was a total sh*t show. The delivery guy for our block would routinely forge signatures to get out of delivering packages to our building, and I'd have to show up at the local post office to claim my packages. Claiming a package involved convincing the postal employee behind two inches of bullet proof shielding that a United States passport is indeed valid identification for federal purposes...

It's possible that the quality of service you get from USPS correlates to the city it's operating from. I prefer USPS in my area. Their delivery schedule is consistent. In contrast, UPS will sometimes show up in the morning or as late in the evening as 9 PM and rescheduled deliveries are too commom.

UPS has a habit of just leaving a "sorry I missed you" sheet at my building. Several times, I've been home the entire day the delivery happened, but they never buzzed my apartment. They just left without contacting me and saying that I wasn't home as the reason.

USPS will often have better access to your building and/or leave small packages in the mailbox, which I appreciate.
