Yep, I don't really give a hang until I stop getting PA's great packing. If that stops happening I can buy pellets cheaper if I just want them tossed loosely in a box with an air pillow. PA will get no more of my money.

That would be foolish on PA's part but who knows they may

Regarding why so much amazon shipping of non-amazon items, it probably has to do with the UPS demands to the USPS. Those were detailed in a different thread. That was the same time when I talked to a USPS worker, who said they were trying to work out an agreement to continue having UPS as shipping partner. Apparently, UPS didn't budge from their demands and amazon was willing to do the same work without the same requirements.

I've hardly seen ANY UPS trucks around here in the last few weeks. A few FedEx are still making rounds. I don't know if they are still a shipping partner with USPS. Seems like there's enough parcel delivery work to go around, though.

A lot of companies are switching to Amazon Shipping. Apparently, Amazon is sinking its tentacles into the shipping industry too! First it was groceries, then pharmaceuticals and tele-med and now global shipping!

Many non Amazon items are sold through Amazon. Those items usually list "sold by" or "shipped from" info in the item page. They also have a link their store fronts. I've noticed that PA has such an arrangement with Amazon recently. Matter of fact, check out this snip from the Amazon site. That drop down menu gives you the option of PA or Amazon.

I saw the Amazon option when I ordered PA pellets, I said the 2 do not mix well, and went with direct from PA.

avator · « **Reply #31 on:** February 18, 2025, 10:22:15 AM »

My daily email from USPS shows I have a delivery coming from Amazon. MY USPS app also shows from Amazon.

Interesting. My order had return address label from Solon. I wonder if protocol changed since then. Not good.

SILENT SQUIRREL · « **Reply #33 on:** February 18, 2025, 02:22:36 PM »

It is quite possible that Amazon's billionaire owner Jeff Bezos is positioning in preparation, should the USPS ever get privatized.
Just my observation
No political motive here

A fleeting moment of dismay...
My phone alerted me that my PA pellet order was delivered and left in the mailbox. This hit my PO'd bone because our mail person always brings them to the fence and puts them on the trash can just inside or we see her and go out to meet her.
I expected the worse like I would find a plastic envelop with damaged tins and scattered pellets shoved in the mailbox.

I walked out to the mailbox making the plan in my head on how I was going to word the complaint to PA.
Opened the mailbox to find the typical PA pellet shipping box with the same PA packing inside. YES !!!
The shipping label did say "Amazon Shipping" on it and the order did seem to arrive a day or 2 faster than PA's normal shipping.
