Couple of ways. One you order something from a company and choose the cheapest way for them to send it. Often it’s free and then gripe about not getting it in 2 days. The other is a recent example here. You go to the post office with something weighing less than 12 ounces. The clerk asks if you would like to upgrade to Priority Mail and you say no just send it regular first class. Then you complain and even state here you paid to upgrade the service. Not you specifically, just 2 examples. As I showed yesterday, USPS is in a backlogged situation. I never saw that in 32 years running 2 different plants, 5 different post offices, and operations for the entire state. I agree that a person paying the postage should expect it to be delivered on time based on the service commitment of the product purchased. I’m tracking a couple now that haven’t moved for several days. I’m sure COVID absences and record online shipping are tough but it’s still pretty pathetic to see.

I've been getting some packages on Sunday from the USPS(2). My buddy told me a couple weeks ago that his driveway alarm went off and he saw a white truck coming down the drive. Guy got out delivered two boxes and left.
Evidently that shows the USPS is trying to meet demand.
Yep, they are all working together.IIRC those are packages handed off to the usps by Fed EX and UPS as well as some Amazon. I had ordered a item off Amazon last year and tracking showed a sunday delivery, I figured it was a auto response date, I see those at work often, nope it came on the sunday Amazon said it would.
So it's an Oklahoma issue and not the shipping company?I chuckle every time I see one of those Amazon Prime Mercedes-Benz Sprinter delivery vans; just wait until Bezos sees his Owning & Operating costs...prices will rise.
Any sort of transport is a mess right now; I've got an 86,000 pound trash compactor stuck at the AR/OK border waiting for OK to issue an oversize load to get to Spencer. Day 2 continues and everybody is loosing money.
