    This doesn't make sense from a cost cutting standpoint, what most people who don't know much about post office logistics need to realize for mail delivery is that the volume of mail is never ending so there isn't currently space to store it or enough transport trucks to slow delivery, they have to deliver it that fast.

      It's because the post office is prioritizing resources for Amazon deliveries instead of delivering mail.

        I don't disagree, but it seems to me that the post office is being sabotaged with moves like this. My mother worked for USPS for 20+ years, she and I have had some discussions on this. She retired because of all the BS over the last few years, it got too much for her.

        Amazon is rolling out their own delivery service and using gig economy workers, which is not a good thing, but should take some burden off the post office's volume.
