Comment on Why I Canceled Amazon Prime

Comments

So this guy had to cancel his prime membership because USPS delivers shit service in his area in Brooklyn ? I sympathize with his issue in general but this has nothing to do with Amazon prime.

I think in general, the moment you talk about NYC boroughs, logistics are a totally different ball game compared to say suburban New Jersey but I am not defending USPS with this though. All I am saying is that Amazon Prime already runs with very thin margins and adding the luxury of being able to select multiple mail carriers for a region is probably not viable for amazon. Just my 2 cents.

I would so happily pay more to choose my carrier. When I started Amazon Prime several years ago the amount I ordered from Amazon skyrocketed -- 2 day delivery for free? Crap, I don't ever have to go to Target, Toys'r'Us, the pet store, etc ever again.
