[QUOTE="Guitarpicker, post: 3939563, member: 72235"] Overpaid... in my area of responsibility - we are not seeing that - in fact - Amazon just "turned on" about 7 or 8 Post Offices - so they are getting bombed with Amazon - these rural route PO carriers are upset due to the fact their routes are studied for a two week period - which apparently sets their pay ( something to do with the route is allotted "xx" amount of time to complete and their pay is based on that two week study - so now with the additional work - they are having to double and triple trip back to the PO to load up more packages ) these routes were studied before Amazon started bypassing UPS in late October and taking straight to the PO for final mile... I can walk down the belt in the morning and point out which package cars work in the area's this is happening - they might have a few smiley boxes - but nothing like they were several months ago... the package cars that serve the areas that Amazon has not turned on - about 35 to 40% of the stops are Amazon.... to your point - if they continue to grow as they have over the past several years - it will only be a matter of time before they start their own delivery into these "super rural" areas...
