Most of my Amazon deliveries come via Amazon's own service now (gray van with teal logo).

I guess the post office is good or bad depending on where you live.
Still have your big orange kitty?

The Amazon drivers (never the same twice) get lost without their little devices.

I'm a big fan of Etrailer.com/. Their product selection is great and they've always given me good service.
My local Walmart is pretty decent, but only to a point.
I only go to Camping World when I'm truly desperate and in a hurry. Otherwise it's Amazon or Etrailer for me.

Sounds like your local postmaster is the problem.

2oldman..... We live in a rural area and the USPS in our are is awesome....
I have a rural mailbox which is in a stand with many other mailboxes. Included in this setup are several larger boxes where packages too large for the boxes can be placed, leaving a key for that box in the smaller mailbox. That *should* work, but the driver often just ignores that and Amazon tracking says "mailbox full", and driver leaves a slip of paper telling me they'll try again (why?), or go pick it up at the post office yourself. And that's what I have to do. And heaven forbid the mail driver goes another 1/4 mile to my house and drops off the packages.
UPS often hands off pretty large packages to this system, and delivers small ones to my house, depending on the circumstances of the delivery instructions, over which I have no control. That makes no sense.
Want more??
My mail forwarding was scheduled to end 3/31/21, and there was a note taped in my box saying so. A week into April I checked the tracking on a package, and it said it was being forwarded!! What??? So I raced to the PO and just in time was able to retrieve my package, and told them to PLEASE STOP the forwarding. Why it was continuing was a total mystery to me.
So... the USPS in my area is pretty far from awesome.

I do a fair amount of shopping at Ebay, and try to rarely shop at Amazon. Too many other places to buy from: Tweety's, and Etrailer.
