Amazon and USPS
Is there a way to remove the USPS as a shipping provider on Amazon? If I wanted to drive into town to pick up an item, I would just go shop for it in town.
Our USPS carrier does not like to deliver any package that doesn't fit in our oversized mailbox, especially if the weather is not San Diego perfect. The latest box was under 10 pounds but would not fit in the box. We got the pink notice and of course the QR code was not activated so the only choice was for my wife to spend an hour on the phone last night rescheduling the delivery. They called her at work this morning and said they would not deliver the package and she would have to pick it up, but since she went through the main 800 number last night to have it delivered and was told they would deliver unless she agreed to pick it up, she refused to pick it up. They then got upset that they had to deliver it.
There have been times when we were expecting a package that our daughter has seen the carrier drop the mail and then leave a note that no-one was home. The carrier has come up to the house to rant after getting called out on that.
Keep in mind, the post office that we would have to pick it up from is 30 minutes from where I work and 45 minutes from her work and they are not open before our morning commuter or after our evening commute so one of our parents would have to make the trip and drop it at the house. A 60# package I can see having to pick up in town, but a pillow in a box or some computer peripherals is stupid.
So, is there a setting to remove the USPS as a shipping provider in Amazon? I do not see anything and they are not easy to get in touch with.
