A heads up to the author -- I've had Amazon Prime for three years, two of those in Phoenix and one in Austin, and UPS were always the carrier delivering the packages, unless I chose one-day or same-day shipping.
I also sell products on Amazon using their Fulfillment services, and the majority of shipments go out on UPS as well. I only ever see USPS shipments if the receiver is close to the Illinois warehouse.
EDIT: The real takeaway is that the article implies that USPS is Amazon's exclusive shipping carrier for Prime shipments, when in reality it varies based on geograpy, shipping speed and other factors. However, I would say that UPS delivers most shipments.
