USPS instead of UPS? Or is it just UPS delivered?

I believe if you're not an amazon Prime member, and you use super saver shipping, those packages will be USPS. I don't think it's all the time though, they may still use UPS Ground when it's not for the one or two day shipping. Not positive on their dvd shipments.

All of my purchases come through the PO unless I choose otherwise.

I"ve brought stuff from Amazon and had it come USPS. It actually came to me via DHL, but I guess DHL and USPS have an agreement or something that allows USPS to deliver my Amazon packages to me, and not DHL. And I"m not even an Amazon Prime member. Heh.

I think it has to do with the shipping options you choose. BTW Vashti, I brought a DVD from Amazon once, and it came to me via USPS. Again, it was because of the DHL/USPS deal.

Yeah I have never had anything not come USPS. Somethings uses some Airborne Express/USPS hybrid thing, where it actually starts on Airborne, but ends up in your mailbox. I do not know what the difference is with shipping methods especially if you dont chose like an overnight or 2 day.

Ok so I can actually choose to have the DVD delivered through USPS?

Brieannas21 · 08-19-2006, 11:10 PM

I believe it depends on the size, When I order DVD's and CD's they come to my house via USPS. But when I bought a bed and lamps from Amazon it came by UPS.

So yes if you order DVD's it will come to your house via USPS

theshark8777 · 08-19-2006, 11:29 PM

I think every DVD I ever got from there came USPS.

Why do you want them to come thru the mail?

Because I',m not home during the day to receive something from UPS

Ahhh I gotcha that makes sense. UPS will leave it at your door tho.
