Exactly, and the post office is further hobbled so amazon is often cheaper and quicker on shipping. 7 days for a package in the post now, from 1200 miles away inside country, from an independant seller for me last two times.
Vendor said that is for all of their clients. It was 2-3 days anywhere in country for lifetimes and since 2020 gone up and up and I seem to be the only one furious about it. 7 fucking days. Amazon sent something in 4 with free shipping on order.
Amazon charged that vender 40-50% in fees for using their marketplace. You didn’t get “free shipping”.
From my end I cannot always use private vendors without paying more and it taking longer.
That said I bet I have bought less from them in my lifetime than you have.
Help fix the post office then tell me to totally drop them.
