Update/Edit: For the attention/concentration challenged. tl;dr FR: Provide options/mechanisms to eliminate USPS as a shipping carrier. 0) Per-order or global preference setting. 1) Fine with some increased cost of Prime. ----------- Greetings, I've attempted to provide this feedback/FR many times over the last few years. No reason why not and no evidence of progress/interest in its instantiation. I pay the Prime tax. 99.9% for the shipping. I might have watched one or two shows on the video side but that's it. There's an irritating trend that FedEx/UPS will dump a package off onto USPS or USPS will be chosen as the shipper at the outset. I absolutely loathe, _LOATHE_, USPS. They can't fold soon enough for me. The carriers that service my area are lazy and may, or may not, deliver an item at all or claim to have done so when there's little evidence to support their assertion. Almost every complaint I have had to call into Amazon Customer Service for, involves some USPS fuckup. My FR, if it can be so-classified, is that Amazon, as the 900lb Gorilla from the carrier's perspectives, to either contractually disallow FedEx/UPS from subcontracting to USPS as a general thing or create a new class of shipping preference that does the same. Further, to also allow a Prime member to exclude USPS from touching my stuff. If I have to pay more for my Prime membership to eliminate USPS from whatever 'cheapest 2day carrier' algorithm, I would _gladly_ do so. Or even some form of at-checkout shipping option wherein some baseline credit for being a Prime member off of a UPS/FedEx explicit choice. That is to say, if the Prime shipping credit works out to be $10, the UPS/FedEx 2day shipping fees would be reduced by this amount. The time/stress involved w/dealing with USPS issues is approaching the 0 point wrt Prime membership being a value-add. If this is impossible, any 'ok-to-share' data on why would be grand! Thanks!
Have you asked customer support for this?
Every single time I have to call Amazon I mention/ask about it. Yesterday, due to an after-the-fact discount 'thanks for the good ratings' thing, I called back just to get the $8.67 applied to the order. I also mentioned it to the very nice woman that assisted me.
Can you be more concise in feedback? Long winded sentences and rambling is not always understood.

I've just edited it with a tl;dr update. I provided the 'why' and detail to avoid being inundated with endless responses asking for details/why. It should be painfully clear enough that even a 3rd grade sufferer of ADHD, hyped up on a Red bull, and a need to urinate like no other should still be able to follow it.
Try getting UPS My Choice. it costs money, but UPS won't have off your packages to USPS anymore.
This would fall under the '...or an option to provide some credit for Prime membership...' Having Prime is pointless if I still have to pay full price for some other shipping method.
just send your delivery to a locker. end of problem
And everyone opting for Prime membership does it so they can get their package not conveniently delivered to their home, but to some other less convenient location right?
I send mine to the location one block away from my office

Both UPS and FedEx routinely deliver to my area. If they didn't, the very request/query would be asinine, the answer self-evident, and I wouldn't have bothered. Where did I even slightly intimate a unilateral Prime cost increase? I was asking for an option. You know, an ability where persons in my situation wanting to opt-in could choose do so. Amazon, as likely the #1 customer of both UPS and FedEx _could_ engineer a contract preventing such LMD practices. As for opting for 1 day delivery, I noted an alternative option wrt some base credit towards uplifted/explicit shipping options. W/out such, there's no value-add in having Prime. Ultimately, if those that make such decisions choose not to do so, I'm fine with that. I will choose to cease paying for Prime and likely order less stuff from Amazon. Newegg is a thing for instance. Nothing like reinforcing the whole 'Amhole' thing. GG. Additional kudos for lack of comprehension.
