Last year a few months before Christmas, I ordered a TV series DVD via Amazon. When it shipped, it was marked for ‘Sunday delivery’.

I chuckled. I am in a small town of 14,000 in the center of fly-over country.

Sunday came and I had forgetten, because I though it would be delay-delivered on Monday. Around noon Sunday, I heard a vehicle noise at by back door. A special Amazon-Post Office vehicle delivered my DVD. I was surprised. A while later, I received another package marked ‘Sunday delivery’ and have seen the vehile in my area a couple of times since.

I've been noticing the Post Office vehicles in my neighborhood on Sundays for a couple years now. Eventually, I realized that Amazon had commandeered the USPS fleet for Sundays because they just couldn't keep up with their volume the rest of the days. That's when I realized online shopping has reached a whole new level.

Now there is talk of same day delivery of Amazon items with trucks full of high-demand items circling the neighborhoods waiting for orders to come in. Eventually we will get most of our groceries this way.
