> In some places USPS is unreliable

I can live with USPS but what made me actually cancel my Prime account was their use of On-Trac shipping in California. They literally missed every single time and had to come back the next day.



I care less who delivers it than whether it actually arrives in <= 2 days.

In my zip code there are various blocks (including my own) where virtually nothing gets delivered in <5 days. This is in one of the biggest cities in the US.

I've contacted customer service and gone through multiple escalations twice and nothing has changed and it appears to reach a black hole. Addresses a few blocks away get normal prime delivery in 1-2 days.

As much as I love Amazon (I've been a customer since the very beginning) this makes me think that antitrust action is needed. Seeing pictures of Bezos partying with the Kardashians doesn't help Amazon's cause very much either.


Bezos hasn’t been CEO of Amazon for some years now.
