UPS handles most of Amazon's deliveries.

I've never had that experience but I don't know about anywhere other than my own area.

Amazon definitely does contract out the to other carriers, depends on volume and where you live.

Source: Sometimes they go through USPS who won't deliver packages to my apartment and I get to make a trip to the USPS and force the poor old lady to lift a box of cat litter I'm subscribed to.

Edit: Car to cat lol

Yeah sounds like a location thing for sure. I've only ever ordered to addresses that are within 100 miles of a warehouse

I think in my case it was due to peak times, there's several warehouses near here, I used to work at one lol
