Well look who's trying to drag the Pony Express kicking and screaming into the 21st Century — Amazon.com! They've announced a deal to provide Sunday deliveries for Amazon Prime members via the U.S. Postal Service.
Amazon says it is teaming up with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver packages on Sundays.
The Seattle company says Sunday delivery will be available to Amazon Prime members in the New York and Los Angeles metropolitan areas at first. Amazon and the Postal Service plan to roll out service to "a large portion of the U.S. population" next year, including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and Phoenix.
Now you guys know I love to rag on the dinosaurs in the Post Office. But this time I gotta give 'em kudos for thinking outside the UPS box. Rather than cutting back on service, they're willing to try the exact opposite — enhancing their service to fill a void. And why not? Amazon promises "2 day" delivery, and last I looked Sunday was a day. Ergo, Sunday delivery!
Now if we could only convince Amazon to team up with HealthCareGlitch.gov...
