Really?
I’m rural and use Amazon a lot, as a Prime member. Everything comes UPS, promptly and to my door.
OTOH, I have suppliers that offer Sure Post. One extra day, UPS to my PO and then delivered to either my mailbox or, if it’s too big, to my front door by USPS.
My orders go to my accounts via UPS except for the one that will pay full freight if I ship on their account number via FedEx, because they get a discount.
I ship all retail orders via USPS. With PayPal, it’s just more convenient.
If I sell on eBay and ship via USPS, eBay gives me a discount.
Shipping varies.

We’re Amazon Prime, too....but we live in a condo w/PO clusterboxes locted down the street....the only time PO delivers to our door is Sundays!
Otherwise humping my deliveries home from the PO “gangbox”
where my stuff is wedged tightly and hard to get out and heavy sometimes to hump home!
I expect same bs for apartment dwellers, etc.
Previously lived in a townhouse in the city and UPS delivered my Amazon prime purchases quickly and to my door—no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure this works fine 4 Amazon and most folks, but....
