My allegiance to efficiency simply won't let this one go. Why does the USPS truck pass by, then the FedEx truck, then the UPS truck... why are there at least 3 trucks all sharing the same function; delivering packages (not to mention Amazon deliveries).
From an efficiency standpoint, I want a single truck to deliver the letters and parcels. We don't need 3 or 4 trucks doing what a single one can accomplish.
Perhaps UPS and FedEx should be relegated to delivering between businesses, with residential served by someone else. Either Amazon needs to ship through USPS, or USPS should contract with Amazon to deliver the letters. I tend to think the latter since Amazon has the profit incentive to run as efficiently as possible, though their size is troubling.
