Two things can be true at the same time. Nobody is disputing the contract existing or it being profitable for USPS, they got 1,9 billion from Amazon in 2019 from that contract which covered 2 big cities. The issue is it expanding to small cities that don’t have the same requirements the original contract had for the 2 big cities.
If you don’t see the problem with a random Amazon package being given priority over time sensitive bills or paychecks, you need to reexamine your perspective.
Then that means USPS is at fault for having made a shitty decision, not Amazon for being too big for the post office.
If you get such an avalanche of packages that you can’t deliver them anymore, then that contract should’ve been better negotiated. It should bring you enough money to expand everywhere you need to handle the load. If you are unable to do that, don’t accept responsibility / the contract.
Imagine someone approaching a machining business saying “we need 1500 of these parts a month”. You accepting the cash and contract, then going to your smaller clients and saying “sorry folks, this big bad company is giving us too much business, we can’t fulfil our old contracts :(”
I get it, shitting on Amazon is trendy, and they deserve it. But this case seems like the post fucked up royally, and they only have themselves to blame.
You see it as a contract between 2 companies, which is fundamentally wrong. It’s a contract with an independently run federal agency in the public sector with a for-profit company. It’s not the same thing, sorry.
Louis Dejoy served as a supply chain chief executive for XPO Logistics before he became Post Master General of USPS. After joining USPS a 120 million dollar contract was awarded to his former company XPO Logistics.
He has also been actively trying to sabotage USPS since he became Postmaster General. His motive is obvious because his actions benefit XPO Logistics.
This contract is just another example of that sabotage.
Just keep moving those goal posts.

Then maybe they shouldn’t accept contracts they can’t deliver on 🤷♂️
USPS offices in small city has no say in which contracts gets accepted by the Postmaster General and the board…

Yeah it is, just don’t sign the contract if you can’t fulfil it.
