I had a huge order waiting in my Amazon cart for after Christmas. The wife ordered a few last minute gifts. Plus all the stuff I had in the cart. Now we have tons of stuff estimated to be delivered December 23. My poor ups man.
I don't get much by UPS . If I order 10 things maybe 2 will come UPS. FedEx Ground and the USPS stay busy at my house. If I get something FedEx the driver is usually in a good mood and will carry on a short conversation. I don't even know who the UPS driver is because by the time I get to the door he is long gone.
Only two orders for me this year. One Amazon which came FedEx Express and the other was Omaha steaks from my dad for Christmas. That one was a DR but yet seems to have disappeared. I smell conspiracy.
I had about four of ten delivered UPS, the others USPS. I have used MyChoice and picked up the packages that I knew about, and could put the request in, in time.
I guess it depends on locality.
Mine are still coming UPS, especially when I select Prime 2 day shipping.
You can defer and get $1 credit towards digital music so I do that a lot unless I actually need it in a couple of days.
