Amazon.com Announces Sunday Deliveries

On May 7th Amazon announced a list of 15 cities where they do Sunday deliveries in a deal with the USPS. Although Allentown, Pa. isn't on the list, my last three orders came on a Sunday delivered by the United States Postal Service.

I'm not sure if this a good or bad thing for the U.S. postal workers. I did feel kind of guilty making them work straight time on a Sunday. Then on the other hand I suppose some of those employees would rather have off on a weekday for one reason or another. It certainly does seem like the cash strapped postal service can benefit, no?

The interesting thing is all three came within two or three days even though I'm neither one of their 'Prime' members nor opted for anything other then the free shipping. Maybe it has something to do with one of their warehouses only being 10 miles away?
