Do you know how many Amazon packages I've received with UPS tracking numbers but were delivered by my USPS route driver?

UPS and FedEx are subcontracting with USPS for 'last mile' delivery of many of their packages.

So what does "tendered to delivery service provider" mean? In simple terms, it means that your package has been dropped off at the nearest post office. DHL, FedEx, or UPS have passed off the box to the subcontractor to send it to you. Usually, USPS is the subcontractor, but sometimes, it may also be a postal service that completes the delivery.

Be funny if they implemented a discount at the same time just to rub their nose in it

Did you hear that in a dream?

Also, the changes mentioned in this article have been in effect for retail customers for years. Bulk shippers were trying to cut corners.
